Career

[edit]

Hazley moved to Stoke City in 2004 from Glenavon. He joined Stafford Rangers in August 2007, for an initial one-month loan spell, and made his debut in the 3–1 defeat against Kidderminster Harriers.

He made his debut for Northern Ireland Under-21 team on 14 November 2006 in a 2–1 defeat against Germany.[2] Hazley made his one and only Stoke appearance in a match against Coventry City on 24 May 2006, he came on as a substitute in the 56th minute.[3] Hazley was offered a four-month extension to his contract in May 2007, to prove his fitness following injury.[4]

On 15 August 2007 Hazley was sent on a one-month loan to Stafford Rangers,[5] where he made six appearances. He returned to Stoke on 12 September 2007 after he was sent off during Stafford's 3–0 defeat to Stevenage the previous day.[6] In early January 2008, following his release from Stoke City, Hazley signed for Stafford Rangers, but signed for Scottish First Division side Airdrie United in July 2008 after a successful trial with the club.[7]

Hazley returned to Northern Ireland to play for Newry City in 2010 and then signed for Crusaders in 2011, before making the move to Dungannon Swifts in May 2012.

Hazley then made the switch from Dungannon to Portadown in 2017 before announcing he would be leaving the club in late 2017. Hazley then joined Mid-Ulster side Banbridge Rangers in 2018.
