Youth career

Haley attended Ursuline Academy of Dallas, where she played soccer as a striker.[1] She also played youth club soccer for Dallas Texans SC, competing with the U17 Elite Clubs National League team as a 15-year-old, and was named the top girls' soccer player of the 2017 high school graduating class by TopDrawerSoccer.com in December 2013.[2]

College career

Haley committed to Stanford University as a high school sophomore in 2015[1] and began playing for Stanford Cardinal as a collegiate freshman in 2017. The team went undefeated throughout the 2017 NCAA Division I season, winning the Pac-12 Conference having finished on 33 points having won all 11 matches,[3] before progressing through to the 2017 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament, where Stanford continued their undefeated run and reached the finals in Orlando, Florida. Stanford defeated the UCLA Bruins 3–2 in the championship match.[4]

Haley repeated the success with the Cardinal just two years later in the 2019 NCAA Division I[5] as the Cardinal went on another undefeated streak and defeated North Carolina in the championship match 5–4 on a penalty shoot-out after the game finished 0–0.[6]

Club career

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports, the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) allowed teams in the 2021 NWSL Draft to select any college senior regardless of whether they had registered, which Haley had not done because she was planning on continuing her college career and completing her master's degree at Stanford.[7] National Women's Soccer League club Chicago Red Stars selected Haley with the seventh-overall pick in the draft,[8] but Haley instead completed her final season at Stanford, after which she did not report to the Red Stars or sign a contract with the team.[7]

Sydney FC

After earning her master's degree, Haley signed for Sydney FC in the A-League Women for the 2022–23 season.[9] She scored her first goal for the club in the Round 2, 2–0 win against Melbourne Victory.[10] Despite a mid-season injury,[7] Haley completed the regular season with 8 goals and Sydney secured their third consecutive Premiership.[11] Haley scored 2 goals against Western United in the 4–0 Grand Final victory,[12] earning Player of the match honors.[7]

Brighton & Hove Albion

On July 17, 2023, Haley signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Women's Super League.[13]

International career

Haley has been called up to various United States training camps at under-14, under-15, and under-17, and under-18 youth levels.[14] She was a member of the United States under-17 national team squad that finished fifth during the 2013 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship.[15]
