A commanding defender, Hawkins began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1964, and helped the club to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1966–67.
He made his professional debut in the Black Country derby against West Bromwich Albion on 10 October 1964, which ended in a 5–1 defeat, with West Brom debutant Jeff Astle scoring two of the goals.

He picked up the nickname "Harry the Horse" after manager Ronnie Allen criticised his running technique during pre-season, comparing his face with that of a tired horse.
Wolves secured a return to the top-flight after finishing second in the Second Division in the 1966–67 campaign, though Hawkins spent most of the season on the bench behind Woodfield and Holsgrove.
He also had to spend three months on the sidelines after tearing his ankle ligaments in a clash with Derby County's Kevin Hector.
He did start the game that secured promotion, a 4–1 win at Bury on 22 April, though Wolves missed out on the chance to win the division after losing on the final day of the season.
