However, he dropped out of The Football League and played for Barry Town before resurrecting his professional career with Cardiff City in July 1950. Due to the presence of Iorrie Hughes, he was forced to wait until 26 December 1951 to make his debut in a 3–0 win over his former club Swansea Town. After winning promotion in his second season at Ninian Park, Howells was to spend five years playing in the First Division. This period also saw him win two caps for the Welsh national side in the 1954 World Cup qualifiers against England and Scotland. Howells dropped back into non-league football with Worcester City but revived his league career with Chester in September 1958. He was a regular in his two seasons at Sealand Road, but was released at the end of 1959–60. Howells had continued to live in South Wales throughout his spell at Chester, who were reluctant to continue paying his expenses. This marked the end of his professional career and he joined Barry Town. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ron Howells」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
