The former Dandenong Stingrays forward made his debut in round 10, 2012 playing through the midfield and up forward. Haynes has great agility, takes a good overhead mark and shows very good running and aerobic capacity. A switch to the backline proved a turning point for Haynes who has gone on to cement himself as a key member of the GIANTS' defence, playing a crucial role in all four of the GIANTS finals campaigns. His brilliant form in 2019 was recognised when he was named in the initial 40-player Virgin Australia All Australian squad.
