Kyron Hayden

Kyron Hayden (born 7 June 1999) is an Australian rules footballer playing for North Melbourne in the Australian Football League (AFL). He played junior football in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) for Subiaco before he was selected in the 2017 AFL draft. Hayden made his AFL debut late in the 2019 season, but ruptured his achilles tendon during the game and missed the remainder of the season.[1] Hayden was knocked to the ground in a collision with Tom Lynch North Melbourne's Round 7, 2020 game against the Richmond Tigers, with him being stretchered from the playing field.[2] In spite of an initial scare, the collision resulted in only a minor concussion for Hayden.[3][4]
