Hayward returns to the Kookaburra squad
Published Wed 24 May 2023
Former Waratahs man Jeremy Hayward has been recalled into the Kookaburra's squad for the upcoming FIH Pro League matches against the Netherlands and Belgium to be played in Europe from 8-20 June.
Kookaburras Head Coach Colin Batch has made nine changes to the squad that competed in the FIH Pro League ‘mini tournament’ in Christchurch at the end of April. This squad marks the return of a number of experienced Kookaburras including Hayward. Coach Batch is looking to make decisions ahead of August's Oceania Cup which serves as an olympic qualifier.
Hayward has been playing club hockey in Europe which will hold him in good stead for the conditions that the squad will face.
