Career

Dagenham & Redbridge

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]

Charlton Athletic

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] Hackett-Fairchild 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]

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

On 7 September 2018, Hackett-Fairchild joined National League side Boreham Wood on an initial month's loan.[7]

Bromley

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.

Portsmouth

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]

He scored his first goal for Portsmouth in an EFL Cup tie against Millwall on 10 August 2021.[13]

Lincoln City

On 14 June 2023, Hackett-Fairchild joined Lincoln City for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.[14][15] On 5 August 2023, he made his Lincoln City debut coming off the bench against Bolton Wanderers.[16] His first Imps goal came a week later, netting the first in a 3-0 win against Wycombe Wanderers.[17] His goal against Northampton Town on 15 August was nominated for the EFL League One Goal of the Month, and would eventually go on to win the award.|[18][19]

International career

In 2021, Hackett-Fairchild expressed his desire to one day play for the Saint Lucia national football team, for which he is eligible through a grandmother.[20]

On 6 June 2023, Hackett-Fairchild received his first international call-up.[21] He went onto make his international debut on 16 June 2023, scoring Saint Lucia's only goal in a 3–1 defeat to Martinique in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup Preliminary Round.[22]
