English - Biography
- Signed for Darlington in the summer prior to the 2022/23 season from Whitby Town. Started his career at Chesterfield in 2012, and was loaned out to several clubs, scoring goals regularly for each of them. After leaving Chesterfield in 2014, he joined Mickleover Sports whom he helped to win promotion to the Northern Premier League, scoring 18 times. After a year at Mickleover, he moved to Frickley and scored 19 goals for them in the 2015/16 season. He joined Scarborough in 2016 and scored 13 times for them in 20 matches before joining Frickley again in 2017. He was a prolific scorer for Frickley, scoring 88 times in 115 matches for them over three seasons - including 47 in one season for them in the EvoStik League South - a record that persuaded Whitby to sign him in the summer of 2020. He also scored in eleven consecutive games for them. He was the Northern Premier League Premier Division’s top scorer during the 2021/22 season with 26 league goals for Whitby, six more than anyone else in the league. He also scored another eight for the Seasiders in the FA Cup and FA Trophy that season. Hazel has also been capped by St Kitts and Nevis, and was part of their squad in the World Cup and Olympics. Ahead of the 2022/23 season he joined Darlington and scored 21 goals in his first campaign for the club. His form was recognised with a place in St Kitts and Nevis side when they qualified for the Gold Cup for the first time in 2023. The following season he scored three times for Darlington before departing the club for an undisclosed fee to Boston United in late October 2023.
