Kay Joyce Hawke (born 28 March 1983) is an English footballer, who most recently played as a goalkeeper for Lincoln Ladies in the FA WSL. She played once for England in 2008.

Club career

Hawke joined Lincoln from Blackburn Rovers Ladies in the summer of 2007. She had joined Blackburn in 2005 and won her first league championship (Northern Premier) that season.

In a September 2009 Premier League Cup match against Birmingham City, Hawke scored with an enormous clearance but was then controversially sent-off for handling outside her area. Lincoln went on to lose 6–2.

While preparing for the 2011 FA Women's Super League season with Lincoln, Hawke joined Leeds United on loan in August 2010. FA Women's Premier League National Division Leeds had a goalkeeper crisis after Carly Telford departed and Jules Draycott was injured.

Hawke left Lincoln before the 2012 WSL season, after losing her place in the team to Nicola Hobbs.

United States

In May 2009 Hawke joined Ventura County Fusion in California for three months, with the permission of Lincoln Ladies.

International career

Hawke's international debut was against Sweden at U21 level on 1 October 2004. The match took place at Örjans Vall, home ground of Swedish side Halmstads BK, and ended 1–0 to England, giving Hawke an international debut clean sheet. Having played football for England at U21 and U23 level Hawke finally made her full debut for England on 14 February 2008 against Norway in Cyprus. She replaced Siobhan Chamberlain after 73 minutes of the 2–1 win.
