Career
editBorn in Luton,[1] Hazel joined Conference club Colchester United as an apprentice,[2] making his first-team debut in an FA Trophy first round replay 3–2 victory at Kingstonian on 14 January 1992, coming on as a substitute for Steve Restarick.[3] He made one further appearance in the 1991–92 season, again as a substitute in the FA Trophy for Ian Stewart in a third round 3–1 home win against Morecambe.[4]
Hazel appeared twice in the Football League following Colchester's non-league double of the Conference title and FA Trophy,[2] playing in two games for the club,[5] the first of which came during a 3–0 home defeat to Darlington on 29 August 1992.[6] He made his final appearance for the U's on 1 September 1992 in a 2–0 home defeat by Shrewsbury Town.[7]
On leaving Colchester, Hazel joined Chelmsford City and later Braintree Town. He signed for Wivenhoe Town following those spells[2] and was appointed player-manager in the summer of 1998 becoming the youngest manager in senior football at the time,[8] leading the club to a 17th position finish in his first season in charge, and a 6th-placed finish in his second, narrowly missing out on promotion.[9]
