Club Career
Club(s) Swifts FC, although Reading FC claim to have his credentials at the time of his only international appearance.  See notes below;  Haygarth also appeared for Lancing College and Wanderers FC, as well as representing Berkshire.
club notes All record books show Haygarth as a player with Swifts FC, a club based in Slough, but Reading FC have a strong claim to be credited instead.  In those early, amateur days players were not tied to one club and the better players, which Haygarth certainly was, tended to pick and chose who they would play for, depending on the attractiveness of the fixture.  Even so Haygarth was a regular for Reading for several years either side of his international appearance. Thanks to research by former Supporters' Club chairman, Roger Titford, Haygarth certainly played for Swifts at the beginning of 1875 but he then played twice for Reading, including a game against Southall the Saturday before the international, 27 February 1875. Indeed, one contemporary report of the international refers to him as 'the Reading captain'.  One possible reason for Reading being unjustly omitted as haygarth's club was that we were not members of the FA at that time. - Reading FC website
