Hawkes was drafted into the First Team picture in February 2017 after impressing then-boss Dave Jones whilst still a scholar. He made his first senior appearance coming on as a late substitute for Michael Woods in a 4–0 win for Hartlepool against Crewe Alexandra.[5] In March 2017, Hawkes signed his first professional contract with Hartlepool, along with Ryan Catterick, Kenton Richardson and Aaron Cunningham.[6]

Hawkes joined Northern League Division One side Dunston UTS on loan in November 2017.[7] He scored twice in four appearances during this short-term loan deal.[8] Hawkes enjoyed his first extended spell in the first team under Matthew Bates and scored his first goal in professional football in a 2–1 win over Bromley in March 2018.[9] He finished the 2017–18 season with two goals in twelve appearances.

Hawkes continued his positive form into the 2018–19 season. After an extended spell out of the team, Hawkes regained his place after scoring the consolation goal in a 2–1 defeat at Dover Athletic.[10] He finished the season with nine goals in thirty-one appearances, including winning goals against Maidenhead United, Braintree Town and Wrexham.

Sunderland
