Former England pro Bobby Howe will visit Thunder Bay this upcoming week for a series of soccer coaching sessions.
Howe played at the top level of English soccer for 10 years with West Ham United before he went to second-division Bournemouth.
After obtaining his full English FA coaching licence, Howe moved across the pond and enjoyed success in the United Soccer League. He is now in his 12th season as director of coaching for Washington State Youth Soccer Association. Howe arrives here to begin a three-day visit on Thursday.
These visits allow our local players, especially the youth teams, not only to receive high level coaching but exposure to possibly further careers in schools across North America.
