A
Renée Howe is a former professional footballer with nearly 900 senior appearances and close to 300 career goals. Born in Bedford, he progressed from his hometown club to the Football League, representing Peterborough United, Torquay United, Burton Albion and Newport County among others.
After retiring, Renée channelled that experience into elite youth coaching — earning his FA A Licence, working at Watford FC’s Academy and serving as Lead PDP Coach at Stevenage FC’s U18s. He is currently completing his Advanced Youth Award at St George’s Park.
Howe2Coach is built on everything he’s learned on both sides of the white line — for players who want more than average.
My team, but THEIR development. There's nothing more rewarding than watching young players problem-solve, push through, and grow — not just as footballers, but as people.
— Renée Howe, Founder

Founder & Head Coach
My boys worked so hard against tough opposition — they problem solved, pushed through and developed a lot mentally for such young players. Most 6/7 year olds have only played 25 minutes on a Sunday but to do 4×20s really pushed them to the limits and they done it! Proud moment — my team but THEIR development! ⚽️🏆
