“Ryan is an abundant of talent that has extensive league experience. His athleticism and quality are exactly what we are looking for, he’s the ideal mould of player in which we have set our sights on for the coming season!”

Haynes began his career at Coventry City, where he made over 80 senior appearances, before successful spells with Shrewsbury Town, Newport County, and most recently Cheltenham Town in League One. Across his career, he has built a reputation as a dependable and dynamic full-back who contributes at both ends of the pitch.
