Career

Hackett was born in the London Borough of Redbridge, and started his career in the youth sides of Fulham and Brighton & Hove Albion.[3] He then joined the Academy side at local side Dagenham & Redbridge in the summer of 2014 to start a two-year scholarship.[3] In March 2016, he joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Dulwich Hamlet on a youth loan and went on to make one appearance in a draw against Wingate & Finchley.[3] At the end of the season he failed to earn a professional contract at Dagenham and was subsequently released. He later joined Norwich City and then Charlton Athletic on a six-week trial.[4] His trial at Charlton proved to be successful and he was rewarded with an initial three-month contract which was later extended until the end of the season.[4] He was part of the under-23 side that won the regional league title and penned a one-year contract extension due to his contribution during the campaign.[4] He made his professional debut in August 2017, replacing Tony Watt as a substitute in the 2–1 victory over Exeter City in the EFL Cup.[5]

He scored his first professional goals when he scored twice in an EFL Trophy tie against Swansea City U21s in December 2017.[6]

On 12 March 2019, Hackett-Fairchild joined National League side Bromley on loan until 6 April 2019.[8] During the summer he then joined the club on a permanent basis.

On 6 January 2020, Hackett-Fairchild signed for Portsmouth to bolster their attacking options.[9]

On 21 September 2020, Hackett-Fairchild returned to Bromley on loan. [10]

On 7 January 2021, Hackett-Fairchild signed for Southend United on loan.[11] Two days later he scored three minutes into his debut against Barrow, which was also his 23rd birthday.[12]
