Maxwell James Haygarth (born 21 January 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or midfielder for National League club Altrincham.

Contents

Haygarth is a product of the Manchester United academy and began his senior career with Brentford in 2021. After failing to break into the first team squad and a period as a free agent, he transferred to Linfield in 2023, for whom he appeared sparingly before his release in 2024.

Career

Manchester United

A winger or midfielder, Haygarth entered the Manchester United academy at age 9 and progressed to sign a scholarship in 2018. [4] [5] Despite suffering from recurring injury problems, [6] he made appearances for the club's U18 and U23 teams and departed Carrington in January 2021. [7]

Brentford

On 16 October 2020, Haygarth joined the B team at Championship club Brentford on loan until January 2021. [6] He won his maiden call into the first team squad for a league match against Nottingham Forest on 12 December 2020 and made his debut as a substitute for Emiliano Marcondes late in the 3–1 win. [8] On 4 January 2021, Haygarth transferred to the club on a permanent basis and signed a 1+1⁄2-year contract, with the option of a further year. [7] He made two FA Cup appearances in January 2021, but was not involved in Brentford's successful 2021 playoff campaign, [8] which clinched promotion to the Premier League. [9]

Haygarth trained with the first-team squad during the 2021–22 pre-season and was named in each matchday squad during the period. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] His only senior call-up of the 2021–22 regular season came on 20 November 2021, when he remained an unused substitute during a 3–3 Premier League draw with Newcastle United. [8] Following 28 appearances for the B team in just under two seasons with Brentford, Haygarth was released when his contract expired at the end of the 2021–22 season. [13]

Linfield

Following trials with English Football League clubs Luton Town, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City, [16] Haygarth joined NIFL Premiership club Linfield on trial in late December 2022. [17] On 7 January 2023, it was announced that he had signed a contract running until the end of the 2022–23 season. [17] Haygarth made 10 appearances and scored one goal, [18] which came two minutes after coming on as an 80th-minute substitute on his debut, with the final goal in a 6–1 victory over Glenavon. [19]

Haygarth signed a new one-year contract in June 2023. [20] Following just one County Antrim Shield appearance during the first half of the 2023–24 season, [21] his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 5 January 2024. [22]

Altrincham

On 12 March 2024, Haygarth joined National League club Altrincham on a short-term contract. [23]

Style of play

Haygarth has been described as "a technical operator in the middle of the park or attack, who is capable of making a real impact on matches". [4]
