Daniel Howe (born 4 December 1995) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club and North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Growing up in Yarrawonga, Howe joined his elder brother and played most of his junior years playing for Rennie. Howe spent his schooling as a boarder at Xavier College, he would often go home and play with Rennie in the Hume Football League.

AFL Career

Hawthorn (2015–2022)

After Hawthorn won the 2014 premiership the Hawthorn recruitment officer concentrated on the younger players in the 2014 AFL Draft. Howe was a 2nd round selection (Hawthorn) No. 31 overall.

A mobile defender, Howe made his AFL debut in the ninth round of the 2015 season.[2] On a wet day in Launceston he started as the sub before replacing Cyril Rioli at three quarter time.

In November 2015, Howe extended his contract to play for Hawthorn for an additional two years.[2]

In July 2018, Howe received a five-game ban for his conduct in a Round 18 game against Carlton.[3] He was given a two-game ban for striking Patrick Cripps and a three-game ban for a tripping incident that left Zac Fisher with a broken leg.[4]

On 30 October 2018, Howe signed a two-year deal with Hawthorn.[5]

After 96 games, Howe was told he would not be offered another contract for 2023 season. Hawthorn delisted him.

North Melbourne (2023-)

Howe was selected by North Melbourne in the 2023 rookie draft with selection 33. Ironically he played his first game with his new club against his old club in Launceston, Tasmania. He played his hundredth professional game at the gather round tournament in South Australia against the Brisbane Lions.
