And the Rocks head to Billericay in the FA Cup tomorrow.
Over the past two seasons, the Rocks have taken Field, Snorre Nilsen and Calvin Davies on long-term loans from Pompey and all have played significant roles.
Howell said: ‘We went to watch Pompey’s under-23 Premier League Cup game against Barnsley and are talking to Mikey Harris, Mark Kelly and Paul Cook at Pompey about whether we might be able to do something.’
Bognor lost 3-1 at Harlow on Saturday.
