Julian Hazel (born 25 September 1973) is an English former football player and manager who played in the Football League as a forward for Colchester United. He was manager of Wivenhoe Town.
Born 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.
