Jermaine Renee Howe (born 22 October 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Kings Langley.
He struggled to break into the side, making just 18 appearances in four years, and spent loan spells at Rochdale, Morecambe, Lincoln City, Gillingham, Rushden & Diamonds and Bristol Rovers.
[3] Manager Morell Maison believed that Howe would be a "sensational talent" after making history with the club by becoming the first Poppies player in almost half a century to score five goals in a game, in a 10–1 win over Clitheroe.
[15] However, Manager Mark Stimson turned to sign Howe on a permanent basis, citing the price range is the main reason.

[23] Howe joined Bristol Rovers on loan less than a month after his return from Rushden & Diamonds,[24] and made his first team debut away to Walsall on 29 January when he came on as a substitute, replacing Jo Kuffour.
[31] Then, on 25 October 2011, Howe scored his first brace of the season, in a 4–0 win over Wimbledon, ending their eight matches winless streak, starting since 10 September 2011.
[32] Then, on 16 December 2011, in a 4–0 win over Accrington Stanley, Howe received a straight red card for his challenge on Dean Winnard, in a 3–1 loss.
In League Two play-off's, against Cheltenham Town, Howe come off as a substitute in the 21st minute after a hamstring injury[36] and causing him to miss the next leg, which Torquay United lose again.
