Biography
M Hayden Lindley | 🏴 | #964 |
Player #964 for Aston Villa, Hayden Lindley played as a midfielder for the club in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 season making two substitute appearances.
Hayden was born on 2 September 2002 and signed for Villa from Manchester City in July 2019 aged 16.
Described by Villa as a a classy, ball-playing midfielder, Lindley was appointed to Sean Verity’s Under 18 squad on arrival before Mark Delaney promoted Lindley to the first team squad and gave him his first team debut in the 2020-21 season aged 18 as a 66’ substitute for fellow debutant Lamare Bogarde in the 1-4 FA Cup defeat to Liverpool on Friday, 8 January 2021.
Lindley was part of the youngest ever squad to be named by Villa for a professional game - aged 18.30 years on average - after the first team squad was forced into isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic which had seen a raft of players and staff testing positive for the virus in the week preceding the game.
Lindley was also one of 16 debutants in the game - the most in a single game in Villa’s history. Lindley made his debut appearance under caretaker manager Mark Delaney after Villa boss Dean Smith was required to join the first team in isolation.
Lindley made his second and final appearance in August 2021 in the EFL Cup victory at Barrow.
