A classy left-handed middle-order batter, the kiwi has already scored over 4,000 runs and taken nearly 300 wickets playing for Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club in the Christchurch Metro Premier Competition.

On the back of strong Canterbury A performances, Hay has been involved in the Canterbury Kings squad for the past 4 seasons, playing his part in a successful campaign during the 2020/21 Ford Trophy winning season.
Hay, who featured in the Dutch Topklasse for the Hague (HCC) in 2019, has now targeted a return abroad in 2024. Given the "pathway" ruling, he is seeking a club in Ireland or Holland.
