Australian rules footballer (born 1998)
William Hayward (born 26 October 1998) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He had previously played for the Sydney for nine seasons.
Sydney (2017–2025)

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]
At the end of the 2025 trade period, he was traded to Carlton in a trade deal for the Swans to receive Charlie Curnow.[8]

- ^ The 2020 season was played with 17 home-and-away matches per team (down from 22) and 16-minute quarters with time on (down from 20-minute quarters with time on) due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
