RANGERS BEATEN IN RACE FOR HAYES

Last Updated : 09-Jun-2005 by
Ian Holloway had marked Hayes (21) as one of the young talents he wanted to bring to Loftus Road but it was Barnsley who moved fastest, agreeing a deal to bring the player to Oakwell within a day.

Hayes was an impressive force in League 2 last season and despite Scunthorpe’s promotion to League 1 they decided to cash in on their star striker.

With Tony Thorpe and Jamie Cureton released at the start of the summer, Holloway is in the market for a striker and Hayes was one player to have been earmarked by the Rangers boss.
