Career
Hazard started his career with Cliftonville before joining Celtic, his boyhood club,[1] in July 2014.[2] At the beginning of the 2017–18 season, Brendan Rodgers promoted Hazard to the Celtic first-team squad as third choice goalkeeper behind Craig Gordon and Dorus de Vries. On 8 September 2017, Hazard signed a new four-year contract with the Scottish champions.[3]
In January 2018, Hazard moved on loan to Scottish Championship club Falkirk.[4] He made his professional debut in a 3–1 victory over Brechin City on 6 February 2018.[5]
Hazard moved on loan to another Scottish Championship club, Partick Thistle, in January 2019.[6]
Hazard joined Dundee on an emergency loan in October 2019, replacing regular starter Jack Hamilton who was out after having his appendix removed.[7] Hazard played 5 games with Dundee before returning to Celtic in November following Hamilton's return.[8] After impressing Dundee manager James McPake during his short stint with the club, Hazard was brought back to the Dark Blues on loan for the rest of the season in January.[9] Hazard again took the starting spot in February, and only conceded one goal in his next 6 games, grabbing 5 consecutive clean sheets in the process. However, both Hazard's and Dundee's great run was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, causing the season to be ended early in April 2020.[10]
International career
Hazard made his debut for the Northern Ireland under-19 team on 26 March 2016 at Sportpark Parkzicht in a 1–0 defeat to the Netherlands.[11] He made his first appearance at full international level for Northern Ireland on 3 June 2018, in a 3–0 defeat against Costa Rica.[12]
