Michael Patrick Haley (born 28 June 1994) is an English-born, Irish-qualified rugby union player who plays as a fullback for United Rugby Championship club Munster.

Club career[edit]

Sale Sharks[edit]

Haley made his professional debut for Sale against Saracens on 10 March 2013, in the semi-final of the 2012–13 LV Cup.[1]

Munster[edit]

It was announced in February 2018 that Haley would be joining Irish United Rugby Championship side Munster on a three-year contract at the start of the 2018–19 season. Haley is Irish-qualified through his maternal grandmother, who hails from Tralee, County Kerry.[2] He made his competitive debut for Munster on 1 September 2018, starting at fullback in their opening 2018–19 Pro14 fixture against South African side CheetahsinThomond Park, a game which Munster won 38–0.[3]

Haley made his European debut for Munster on 13 October 2018, starting in the provinces 10–10 draw with Exeter ChiefsinSandy Park in the sides' opening 2018–19 Champions Cup fixture.[4] He scored his first try for Munster on 20 October 2018, doing so in the provinces 36–22 win against Gloucester.[5] Haley signed a two-year contract extension with Munster in March 2021,[6] and extended that contract by a further two years in September 2022.[7]

Haley started and scored one try in Munster's historic 28–14 win against a South Africa XVinPáirc Uí Chaoimh on 10 November 2022,[8] and started in Munster's 19–14 win against the Stormers in the final of the 2022–23 United Rugby Championship on 27 May 2023.[9]

International career[edit]

Haley received his first call-up to the senior England squad by coach Eddie Jones for a three-day training camp in May 2016.[10] He made his debut for the England Saxons on their tour against South Africa A in June 2016.[11] However, this appearance did not tie him fully to the RFU because, at the time, South Africa A was not SARU's second team.[12] Haley was subsequently named in a provisional elite player squad for the 2016–17 season.[13]

Haley represented an England XV in the Old Mutual Wealth Cup against the Barbarians in a non-cap international at Twickenham Stadium in May 2017.[14] Again, this match did not tie him to the RFU as the Barbarians are a club team, and he thus remained eligible for future Ireland selection.[15]

In May 2019, Haley was named by Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt in a 44-man training squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Along with Munster teammate Jean Kleyn, this was Haley's first time being named in an Ireland squad.[16] He made his debut for Ireland in their 2019 Rugby World Cup warm-up match against Italy on 10 August 2019, featuring as a replacement in the 29–10 win.[17] However, Haley was dropped from the squad before the 2019 Rugby World Cup.[18]
