Harry Hayley (22 February 1860 – 3 June 1922) was an English rugby union footballer for Yorkshire, St. John's Training College, York (1880–81), and Wakefield Trinity (were a rugby union club at the time, so no Heritage № is allocated),[1] and first-class cricketer, who played seven matches for Yorkshire County Cricket Club over a fourteen-year period between 1884 and 1898.[2]

Born in Heath, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England, Hayley played rugby union for Yorkshire against Middlesex at The Oval on 25 February 1878, and played cricket for Yorkshire as a right-handed batsman, who scored 122 runs at 11.09 with a best of 24. He conceded 48 runs with his right arm medium bowling without taking a wicket. He also took three catches.[2]

He died in June 1922 in St. John's, Wakefield, Yorkshire.
