He was drafted by Sydney with their second selection and twenty-first overall, a priority draft pick,[1][2] in the 2016 national draft.[3] He made his debut against the Western Bulldogs in the twenty-three point loss against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium in round 2, 2017.[4]
Hayward received the AFL Rising Star nomination for round 23 after kicking three goals in the Swans' 81-point win over Carlton at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[5]
After a great start to the 2024 season and coming out of contract, there was a lot of speculation about what he would do next.[6] In June 2024, he signed a 5 year extension.[7]
