Career

Hawkins was born in Middlesbrough, Cleveland.[4] He started his career in the youth team of Hartlepool United on a two-year scholarship. In September 2011, Hawkins was sent on work experience to Whitby Town of the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[5] He made seven appearances for Whitby, one of which came in the FA Cup.[6] He made his first-team debut on 10 March 2012, in a 0–0 draw with Walsall, replacing the injured James Poole in the starting line-up.[7]

Hawkins joined Spennymoor Town on 6 February 2015 on a one-month loan,[8] but was recalled by Hartlepool manager Ronnie Moore after three matches, with Spennymoor boss Jason Ainsley saying: "He has been brilliant in his spell for us, even though he only played three games. He gave us an extra dimension".[9] Hawkins rejoined Spennymoor on 20 October on a three-month loan.[10]

Hawkins scored his first two goals in professional football within six minutes of each other in a 3–1 win over Barnet in March 2016.[11] His first goal of the match won Hartlepool's Goal of the Season award.[12]

Hawkins signed a new one-year contract with the club at the end of the 2017–18 season.[13] He joined National League North club York City on 3 November 2018 on loan until 3 January 2019.[14] He made his debut on the same day as joining, starting in a 4–1 defeat at home to Bradford (Park Avenue) in the league.[15] Hawkins was recalled by Hartlepool on 15 December 2018.[16] He made nine appearances in all competitions for York, scoring once in an FA Trophy game against Kidderminster Harriers.[17][18]

Hawkins joined National League North club Spennymoor Town on 22 March 2019 on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[19] On 1 May 2019, Hawkins scored the winner for Spennymoor in their play-off quarter final game against Bradford Park Avenue[20] and four days later, he scored the winning penalty in the penalty shoot-out against Brackley Town[21] to send Spennymoor through to the National League North play-off final against Chorley.

Hawkins was released by Hartlepool at the end of the 2018/19 season.[22]

Following his release from Hartlepool, Hawkins went on trial with National League side Yeovil Town in July 2019.[23] The following month, Hawkins signed for Northern League Division One side Guisborough Town making his debut in a 2-0 victory over Seaham Red Star.[24]

Hawkins moved to National League North side Blyth Spartans on 31 August.[25]
