Career

Hawkshaw made his league debut for Kilmarnock in August 2016 against Motherwell, being taken off after a clash of heads with Carl McHugh. McHugh was out of play for several months with a head injury,[1] while Hawkshaw had a concussion.[2] Hawkshaw was out for months with a later knee injury.[3] He remained in and around the first-team under the management of both Lee Clark and Lee McCulloch, but dropped out of the squad under Steve Clarke. Hawkshaw was loaned to Stranraer in January 2018,[4] and released by Kilmarnock at the end of the 2017–18 season.[5]

Hawkshaw made a trial appearance for Greenock Morton in a friendly against Forfar Athletic in July 2018.[6] He signed for Junior side Glenafton Athletic in September 2018.[7]

Hawkshaw then moved to Scottish League One club Airdrieonians,[8] and made his first league appearance for the club in a 1–0 win against Forfar on 23 March 2019. In May 2019, he signed a new contract with the club.[9]
