International career

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.{{cite web|title=Haworth, Leutwiler get their first call for Canada|url=http://canadasoccer.com/haworth-leutwiler-get-their-first-call-for-canada-p160078|publisher=Canada Soccer|accessdate=November 4, 2016|archive-date=December 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220141300/http://canadasoccer.com/haworth-leutwiler-get-their-first-call-for-canada-p160078|url-status=dead}}

Style of play

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.{{Cite web |title=Gameday Report: September 6, Week 26 |last=Murray |first=Nicholas |publisher=United Soccer League |date=June 9, 2018 |accessdate=September 26, 2018 |url= https://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/947788}} 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".{{Cite web |title=Carl Haworth: Fury Through And Through |last=Mactaggart |first=Stuart |work=Midfield Press |date=April 15, 2016 |accessdate=September 26, 2018 |url= http://midfieldpress.com/2016/04/15/carl-haworth-fury-through-and-through/}}
