15.01.1982
Position
Defender

'Hayesy' skippered Prestatyn to the Welsh Alliance League title in 2005/06 and has been a pivotal figure in the remarkable progress the club has made over the past four seasons. Has now reached the level many believe he should have been playing at two or three years ago. Hayes is the complete defender, strong in the air and efficient on the deck - and he gets goals. His former clubs were Rhyl, where John Hulse rated him highly but he never really got the rub of the green, and Prestatyn Nova. Was rightly voted Supporters Player of the Year and Committee Player of the Year in 2008/09.
2007/08 Appearances: 25 (1) Goals 6.
