ADDITIONAL INFO: As well as lining-up for Rye House in 2009, Haines also filled the position as Wolverhampton's No. 8 rider. Regrettably, the Bolton-born rider sustained a broken hand in the World Under-21 Championship qualifying round at his home track, Hoddesdon, on 17 May 2009.
The accident occurred in heat three, when Germany's Kai Huckenbeck lost control in front of him on the third/fourth bend, leaving Haines to feel the effects of a nasty coming together with the safety fence. The Rockets continued to operate the rider replacement facility in his absence, whilst Wolverhampton replaced him in the No. 8 slot with Jesper Kristiansen in June.
Rye House received great news at the end of July, when Haines declared himself fit to return on 8 August. This followed the removal of his neck brace some weeks previously and subsequent physiotherapy, which had led to some successful practice laps in Poland.
The ambitious youngster went on to post a real-time average in excess of 7 points per match for the Rockets but, in November, it was revealed that he had opted to join King's Lynn for the 2010 campaign.
Later in the same month, Wolverhampton indicated that they would again utilize Haines' services, this time in a ‘doubling-up' capacity.
DATE OF BIRTH: 4 September 1991, Bolton, Greater Manchester.
