Manchester United's top scorer of the season is a modest player, but once crossing the white line, she is confident enough to be a two-time Barclays Women's Championship and Jamaica international.
For Newcastle’s seventh place, it was the beginning of modesty, so modest that she admitted that her mother didn’t like football in the rain and in the cold, but she had little idea what would happen.
Time with local boys’ team Belvedere soon joined Stretton Swifts, where she set Sunday’s football scenes that sparked interest from the women of Villa and Birmingham.
“I didn’t like football at first,” Hales admitted. “My mom took me there for the first time when I was five, and I was wondering why she left me in the rain and in the cold all day?
“Then I decided to go again and I’ve never stopped playing since.
“I started playing for a team called Belvedere because many of the boys I played in school were on that team, but when I was nine I had to start playing with girls.
"I went to a team called Stretton Swifts and played there until I was 15. I loved life and remembered scoring 70 goals with them in a season, and then I decided to go to the test at Aston Villa and get into their academy system."
Hayles' ability is always self-confidence, although people may not realize her quiet role and the way the football world is.
It was a quick standout for Hailes, from playing with friends to a one-on-one meeting with Ellen White and writing her first career contract when she was only 18, but it certainly wasn't without hard work, it was her career.
She added: "Since I was about 16 or 17, I was always with players like Alan White on the first team (Birmingham City Women).
“And then, at 18, I got my first professional contract. That was the moment it clicked, and I thought it was real and made all the hard work and sacrifice worth it.
“I knew then that I could make a career from football, but my journey was certainly not direct and I think it made me a player and a person.
“I will always keep my head down, talk on the court and work hard because I know my ability to be in front of my goals.”
Hayles won a professional contract at 18, but she learned a lot in Birmingham, with the then manager Marc Skinner who was clearly a big part of her early career.
Entering the world of frontline football undoubtedly opened Hayles' eyes to see how much she still has to learn, but it's all worth it in Solihull on September 19, 2018.
“My time in Birmingham was where I knew tactics and football, and playing under Skinner was great for me.
“When you’re on the bench, you never know what’s going to happen and whether you’re going to go on, but when I got the call and made my debut, I was ready.
“Mark told me to leave the bench and told me I was going to keep going and he just said, ‘Continue, kid,’ I love it every second.
"I remember my classmates at college playing in the game, like in Solihull Moors, we played in the stadium in Solihull Moors, which was a great feeling for me. I've always had good people behind me and trusted me."
Despite the increased chances on the court, Hales has never had a single person to rest in peace and has been considering improving herself and her career, which is why he returned to Villa before leaving Birmingham as a city.
She won some youth calls in the England setting and won several youth summons, but her time enjoyed her time, but it was a three-season spell that then brought 88 miles to the south, which took her further from the shell, a three-season spell.
“I think (back to the villa) is one of the best decisions I have made because we have achieved it as a team.
“You’ve been trying to prove yourself, and when you’re a forward, you can only do it by scoring goals, so getting 11 in my first season was a proud moment.
“For me, though, in the end, I just wanted to leave (Birmingham). I felt like I knew everyone there and knew the city very well, living alone was a big deal.
“Bristol can give me the game time I want and it’s important for me to start playing in the WSL after the promotion, although when I got into the league, I felt less unfortunate because I wasn’t as good as I wanted.”
Newcastle’s top scorer of the season is the first summer, joining the summer after Bristol relegated to the title, which was her move to tick her.
The striker wanted a club that matched her ambitions and hoped she could focus on football, with none more scoring than the Northeast Derby winning goal, which was the pinnacle of her career.
“I know Becky played with the University of England a few years ago, so I know she is a passionate manager and really wants to win.
“It’s a huge club and I honestly didn’t realize how big it was until I moved here, and of course, the fans were huge. I knew where the club wanted to go and wouldn’t miss any chance to join the boat.
“I just want to be able to focus on putting the ball behind the network and playing Sunderland in front of over 38,500 fans is surreal. Honestly, I think it might be the best weekend of my life.”
The club’s honor is Hales’ bread and butter, and she often mentions her desire to return to England’s top flight, but with the 2027 World Cup, she has not shy away from her dream of playing on the biggest stage.
Reggae Girl’s recall recalled her hat tricks in black and white after her impressive performances in black and white, especially against the Charlton Athletic Women.
Starring the English Youth Setting didn’t bring any first team recognition, so when the opportunity to represent Jamaica came, it was a move she knew some would be labeled as “controversial” but felt right.
“I really like the time I play for England, which is one of my dreams for representing England, but, I know someone might call it controversial, I’m ready to play senior international football and Jamaica gave me this opportunity.
“My vision is on the World Cup and the best way to achieve this is to be with Jamaica. I am very proud of my grandparents and father’s Jamaican roots and my father’s side, so playing for Jamaica was just as important to me.”
She added that representing your country is one of the highest accolades a football player can achieve, but Hales can’t deny that several ready-made privileges will smile when summoned.
“It’s always horrible around the world, but I’ve always been grateful for the experience football has provided me.
“The thing I love is that sometimes we can go to business class and, as much as I’ve always appreciated it, I do take some time to think about all the hard work and sacrifices I’ve done throughout my career to get to that.”
United's deadly ender isn't limited to the white line when talking about her swagger, and briefly introduces her Instagram to showcase her more personality.
Adaptive striker admits that he always has an individualistic style and goes into fashion alone, claiming that no one else in her family would do the pride when organizing a piece of clothing.
“No one in my family really cares about the clothes they wear, but I think I’ve had an individualistic style over the years.
“I always want to be happy with the clothes I wear, but I never try. I will definitely say I have a shopping habit; if I like things, I usually always buy it.
"That's me and how I express myself. I like to see what others wear, especially the suitability of some football players in men's games."
