On 16 February 2018, Hayden was loaned out to Stourbridge until 17 March 2018. [9] The deal was later extended at the end of the season. He then returned to Wolves, but in on 1 August 2018, he was once again loaned out to Stourbridge, this time until 2 January 2019. [10] On 31 January 2019, the loan deal was extended once again, this time for the remainder of the 2018/19 campaign. [11]
