Hazan spent most of his playing career in Israel, but did spend 18 months with English club Watford, with whom he achieved two promotions – from Division Two to the Premier League. In 1999 Hazan scored in the penalty-shootout semi-final play-off against Birmingham City to put Watford into the play-off final against Bolton Wanderers, which they won 2–0 at Wembley, to earn promotion to the Premier League.[3][4] He turned home to Israel for personal reasons before he could play a part in the top tier of English football.[5]
