Born in Coventry, Warwickshire, Hewitt started his career in local football in the Coventry area. He joined Watford, of the Football League Third Division South, in September 1927.[1] He made his debut two months later, replacing the injured Bill Yates for an away match against Millwall on 5 November 1927; Watford lost 4–2. He briefly lost his place later that month, but played in Watford's final 26 fixtures of 1927–28, and missed only two games the following season.[2] He shared the position with other keepers for his final two seasons at Vicarage Road, and made his final appearance on 2 May 1931, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 win at Norwich City.[2] He left Watford shortly thereafter, to join Coventry City.[1]
