Njai, has come a long way since its inception from an amateur club team to one of the oldest and leading teams presently playing in the Gambia Football Federation's top flight.

Since its formation as a purely amateur team without any major sponsorship, the club relied on the founder and dedicated people as members of the Executive of the Club who served as sponsors, giving financial and moral support to the team.

From that time to date, the team was crowned first division League Champions twice, second division league Champions once, won five FA Cups, the most recent being the 2016/2017 FA Cup final played in June 2017, one Super Cup as well as winning other trophies like the SS Ceesay Trophy, and the Papa Njie Trophy.

Over the years, Hawks FC[2] has embarked on promoting various youth development, educational and football programmes for boys and girls.

The academy runs training sessions on Saturdays for the children whilst the junior and senior teams train daily from Monday to Friday at the Gambia High School football grounds, and the club helps in the enrollment and payment of tuition for underprivileged students who play for the team.
