After missing most of the 2012–13 season with a serious ligament injury Hiwula scored 20 goals in 31 games for Manchester City U21s in the 2013–14 season. As a result, Hiwula signed his first professional contract with the club, on a two-year deal, keeping him until 2016.

He scored three minutes into his debut for the Saddlers after coming on 66 minutes in on a 2–0 away win against Doncaster on 7 February 2015. His second goal came just three days later, on his home début, against Rochdale where he scored to put Walsall 3–0 up and it turned out to be the winner in a 3–2 win. After scoring three times in six appearance, Hiwula's loan spell was extended for another month. Hiwula scored his fourth goal on 3 March 2015, in a 1–0 win against his former club, Yeovil Town.
