Club career

Born York, North Yorkshire, Hawksby made his debut for Leeds United, aged 18, in August 1960 and scored in each of his first two games, which were to be the only two goals that he scored for Leeds.

His place in the team was taken by Albert Johanneson for the 1962–63 season and he made only nine further first team appearances before joining Lincoln City in August 1964. He then joined York City during the 1965–66 season.
