  ## Career
  
  Following a successful youth career in Luton, Hawkes received offers from other League clubs before signing for his local side Luton Town in 1899. Playing alongside Robert Hawkes (no relation) and Fred White in the Luton half-back line, Hawkes became one of the club's most consistent performers up until the outbreak of World War I. On his return from the conflict, he made 14 appearances during the 1919–20 season to complete a career that had lasted for over twenty years.
