Steve Hayward says
goodbye to Fulham
|
|
Steve Hayward has signed a three year contract at Barnsley this morning in a deal
worth £25,000 with an undisclosed figure to follow based on appearances.
Hayward joined Fulham in a £175,000 move from Carlisle in July 1997. He won England
caps at Under 17, 18 and 19 level while a hugely promising midfield talent during
his YTS years at Derby County.
Born and raised in Walsall, West Midlands, Steve joined Derby, then managed Arthur
Cox, from school. However, his chances at the Baseball Ground were not helped
with an influx of players and he made only 26 League appearances over seven seasons.
Steve joined Carlisle for £100,000 during the 1994/95 season and impressed as
a ball-playing midfielder with an eye for goal and a competitive spirit and was
captain as the Cumbrians won promotion alongside Fulham in 1997 scoring the winning
goal in that season's Auto Windscreen Trophy in front of 76,000 at Wembley.
Steve was a popular player with the fans for his engaging personality and battling
spirit – the Club would like to thank Steve for his services and wish him well
in his new career with the Tykes.
