Haye started his career as an attacking midfielder but adapted to various positions as he progressed.[16] During his two seasons with Willem II, he frequently operated as a left winger, utilising his strong and accurate right foot to cut inside from the flank.[35] His versatility made him an exceptional utility player. As his career advanced, he transitioned to a more defensive role, primarily playing as a central midfielder.[36]
