Career
Brentford
Hawley began his career at Division Four club Brentford as an apprentice, earning £7 a week.[3] When he made his debut at home to Barrow on 29 September 1962 at the age of 16 years, 3 months and 22 days, Hawley was the youngest player to make his debut for Brentford.[4] Hawley had to wait until the 1964/65 season to make his breakthrough and won his first piece of silverware, the London Challenge Cup.[1] Either side of a long spell out with a cartilage problem, Hawley was an ever-present during the 1967/68 and 1969/70 seasons.[1]
The highlight of Hawley's career came during the 1971/72 season, when he missed just three games of a successful campaign in which a third-place finish saw the Bees promoted to Division Three.[1] He was captain of the side on occasion and was awarded a testimonial in May 1974 against Leyton Orient,[4] the match earning him £1732.[5] Hawley departed the club at the end of the 1973/74 season, having made 343 appearances and scored four goals for the club.[1] Hawley was added to the Brentford Hall of Fame in 2013, alongside fellow inductees and former teammates Jackie Graham and Bobby Ross.[2]
Loans
Having gradually fallen out of favour at Griffin Park, Hawley spent time on loan at Fulham (1971), Hillingdon Borough (1973/74) and Aldershot (1974).[6]
Non-league football
After his departure from Brentford, Hawley played on in non-league football, appearing for Hillingdon Borough, Wimbledon, Kingstonian, Walton & Hersham and Ruislip Manor.[6]
Managerial and coaching career
Hawley was named as caretaker manager of Southern League Premier Division side Hillingdon Borough in August 1975 and was named player-manager the following month.[6] He remained in the role until his dismissal in November 1976.[6] Hawley returned to Brentford in the early 1990s, working under Joe Gadston in the club's youth system.[6]
