Club career

Hazell started his career as a youth player with Aston Villa before playing for Tranmere Rovers, Torquay United, Kidderminster Harriers and Chesterfield, where he scored once against Swansea City.[1] Whilst at Tranmere he played in the 2000 Football League Cup Final, and scored one league goal in a 2–1 win over Portsmouth in March 2000.[2]

He joined Oldham Athletic in September 2007.[3] He was appointed the club's vice-captain at the start of the 2010–11 season before being promoted to club captain after the departure of Sean Gregan.[4]

At the end of the 2010–11 season he declined the offer of a new contract from Oldham[5] and he left the club in June 2011.[6] He subsequently joined Shrewsbury Town ahead of the start of pre-season training on a two-year deal. However, he was missed most of the season after suffering cruciate ligament damage in a match against Torquay United as a result of a tackle by Torquay striker Rene Howe, whom Hazell later criticised in the Shropshire Star.[7] On 15 October 2012, Hazell left Shrewsbury after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[8]

Coaching career

Hazell managed the Panjab football team at the 2018 ConIFA World Football Cup.[9]
