That is fantastic for the young man. Howieson is just 17 yrs and 4 months old !!! (Born 22.12.1994). Possibly the youngest Kiwi debut in the Championship

Comparing to Wood, born 7 December 1991, his debut was in April 2009, so he was also 17 and 4 months, but I dont know the exact date, so he could have been just younger or older than Howieson, and of course it was one level up in the Premier League against Portsmouth.

DEVELOPMENT SQUAD 0 BLACKPOOL 1
Posted on: Thu 06 Sep 2012

Summer signing George Porter completed 90 minutes as the Development Squad lost 1-0 to Blackpool at Gawthorpe.

And the former Leyton Orient winger, sidelined by an ankle injury in the early stages of the season, went closest to an equaliser for the Clarets as he hit a post in an improved second-half performance.

Teenage midfielder Cameron Howieson also made his first appearance since being given a break following his summer schedule with New Zealand's national and Olympic teams.

Howieson's pass was struck against the woodwork by Porter as Burnley looked to cancel out a 44th-minute strike from Blackpool midfielder Curtis Thompson.

Thompson - son of former Clarets' midfielder Steve - stroked the ball home after Burnley had surrendered possession at the back.

And Blackpool almost doubled their lead after an hour when Adda Djeziri hit a long-range effort against the bar.

Cameron Howieson returned to Burnley colours

The Clarets had gone close in the first half when Porter charged down a clearance with the ball bouncing just wide and Keith Treacy, who played for the opening 45 minutes, shooting at the keeper following a one-two on the edge of the box.

Burnley, watched by boss Eddie Howe, then stepped it up after the break but couldn't force a leveller in the latest of their series of behind-closed-doors games with Stevie Hewitt seeing an effort saved after Porter had just failed to connect with a fine Shay McCartan cross.

Burnley: Nizic, Williams (Richardson 40), Conlan, Coleman, Errington, Hewitt, Love, Howieson (Daly 77), Porter, Treacy (Evans ht), McCartan.

 Good stuff

"Burnley's Development Squad beat Manchester City's youngsters 3-1 at Carrington on Tuesday in their latest behind-closed-doors friendly.

The young Clarets won thanks to goals from Cameron Howieson (pictured), Jason Gilchrist and George Porter."

He seems to have started off very well this year, can't be too far away from getting another first team chance.

Its amazing how far this boy has come... he really did look out of his depth at the u17 world cup only a year or two ago, to now where he is.

With Burnley firing their manager it will be interesting to see if he falls in the pecking order a little bit, or moves up a few places.

Love to see him getting some game time again.

Correct.  "family reasons".
Eddie generally liked at  Burnley, but results haven't really come, so we're aren't hugely upset that he moved on (not convinced it's a good look for Eddie, but hey). Good foundations laid.
The positive thing is that the club is very committed to maintaining its focus on youth, and this has been stated as an important factor in selecting a new manager.  Someone who nurtures young players much preferred over an old head that brings in old heads (and we are not going to rely on a "global advisor").
Interestingly its the Youth coach, Terry Pashley that has taken over as caretaker and overseen two wins since Eddie left. 

I know, I know, its serious!

Time to get that famous Burnley youth programme rolling again: always used to be good at nicking Geordie lads

from the " big " clubs...

On a sad note: former Burnley great John Connelly died yesterday: a fast, direct winger who scored over 100 goals for Burnley

and played in the title winning 1960 team, '62 cup final, and this sounds bizarre, in Burnley's European cup run(reached Q.finals!!!).

Also won the title again at Man Utd with Bestie & Co and was part of the England '66 World cup squad(20 caps). A helluva good winger according to the " old 'uns "...

Cam just captained the Burnley youth team to a 4-3 win over Man Utd at Old Trafford in the FA Youth Cup 3rd round.

Cameron scored Burnley's opening goal with the other 3 by Jason Gilchrist. A great day for the young Clarets.

New manager Sean Dyche is a strong supporter of youth football / development (that was his background at Watford).  Cam's in a good place and his time will come.

Doubt it. It will just be to do with player availability. You don't sign someone then decide there not up to it without having even let them on the park. Plus, they are winning the league and have won the three games since howieson arrived so not simple tobreakinto a winning side.

Got a bit of competition too: John Lundstram on loan from Everton. A really top notch prospect for the Toffees...

Suspected something like this as his manager clearly really rates him and would have him regularly on the bench.

Cam was on the bench for last week's 2-1 mid-week away win over Shrewsbury.

Game time seems guaranteed before season's end, despite other midfielders coming into contention currently, according to this report from last week's "South Yorkshire Times"  26/02/13:

 http://www.southyorkshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football/doncaster-rovers/doncaster-rovers-kiwi-cam-aiming-to-strike-gold-at-rovers-1-5446488

"Flynn has promised Howieson will get a chance to impress before the end of the season.

But he has urged him to be ready for the call to come.

He said: “Cameron will get his chance, he then just has to take it.

“He’s definitely going to be involved with us before he goes away with New Zealand next month.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence in the lad and I’m sure he’ll be fine when he gets that chance.”

Howieson is again likely to be on the bench as Rovers travel to Shrewsbury Town tonight.

He was named among the substitutes for Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Yeovil Town on Saturday but was not used.

Competition for places in central midfield has intensified following the return to fitness of David Syers and Paul Keegan, plus the addition of John Lundstram who made his debut last weekend after joining on loan from Everton.

Yet again on the bench and not used. Not really sure the point of going on loan. Surely their own youngsters could do that
