Playing career

editFrom 2011 to 2013, Hawkins played for the Canberra Raiders' NYC team.[3][4] On 30 August 2013, he re-signed with the Raiders on a 2-year contract.[5] On 13 October 2013, he vice-captained the Junior Kiwis against the Junior Kangaroos, after being 18th man the year before.[6][7][8][9]
2014
editIn 2014, Hawkins graduated to the Raiders' New South Wales Cup team, Mount Pritchard Mounties.[10] In round 18 of the 2014 NRL season, he was named to make his NRL debut against the Gold Coast Titans, however the Raiders' request to play him was denied by the NRL due to Canberra having used up all their second-tier salary cap and having players in Hawkin's position available to play.[11][12] In round 24, he made his NRL debut for Canberra against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, playing at centre in the club's 22-12 win at Remondis Stadium.[13][14]
2015
editOn 13 February, Hawkins re-signed with Canberra on a two-year contract,[15] however, on 5 November, he was released from the final two years of his contract and signed a two-year contract with the Melbourne Storm starting in 2016.[16][17]
