Crusaders Announce Goalkeeper Coach Brandon Hayward

Hudson Valley Crusaders welcome former standout Goalkeeper to continue his career off the field as our Goalkeeper coach.

Brandon Hayward comes to the Crusaders organization with a decorated playing career behind him. Hayward’s passion for the game began at a young age as he was raised by a lifelong soccer coach. Hayward began playing soccer at the age of five and still plays to this day.
