Nick Haynes (born 18 May 1992) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by the club in the 2011 national draft with pick seven. Haynes made his debut in round 10, 2012, against Geelong at Kardinia Park. He is known as one of the Giants inaugural players from their first season.[2]
Early life
Nick Haynes grew up in Somerville and as a kid was once ranked amongst the best showboaters in Victoria.
AFL career
When Haynes was selected by GWS with pick seven in the 2011 AFL draft, he was an overage player without a solid position. Having grown significantly in the 18 months before he heard his name called, Haynes was seen as a midfielder who could float forward — with nothing about his potential as a defender. In 2019 Haynes was selected in the squad of 40 for the Virgin All Australian team after a breakout season with the giants.
In 2020, Haynes became an All Australian, and won the Kevin Sheedy Medal to cap off a spectacular individual season.
