During his time in college, Haworth also played for Forest City London in the USL Premier Development League. On January 17, 2012, Haworth was drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft (58th overall) by Montreal Impact.

Haworth was a member of the Canadian under-23 national team for their Olympic Qualifying Tournament in 2012. He made three appearances for the U23s. Haworth received his first call-up to the Canadian senior team on November 4, 2016, for a friendly against South Korea.

Haworth can play as a central forward or as a winger, a position he played regularly for the Fury under Marc Dos Santos, but has also appeared as a right-back. Anticipating a more central role after the arrival of Paul Dalglish, Haworth commented, "Growing up I always played centrally, it's something that comes naturally. For the wingers to be tucked in more and playing closer to goal, it definitely benefits me. I can make those runs in behind and have a little less of a defensive role, so I can save that energy for going forward".

Haworth was born in Southport, Merseyside to an English mother and a Welsh father. At the age of one, he and his family moved to Barrie, Ontario.
