Hawthorne was educated at Mount Cook School in Wellington. He played club cricket in the city for the Gas Company side as a batsman, He captained the side during the 1905–06 season, during which he was described as "young and full of energy", and by the start of the following season was a member of the club's match committee.

Considered by the press to be "one of the foremost of Wellington's batsmen", Hawthorne made his representative debut in a February 1905 match between the touring Australians and a side of 15 players fielded by Wellington. His first-class debut came in December 1906 against the touring MCC side at the Basin Reserve.
