Playing career

Haig began his career at Cardiff City, making his debut towards the end of 1988–89 season as a substitute during a match against Brentford. The following season he made four appearances, including his first start against Shrewsbury Town, as the club suffered relegation to Division Four. At the end of the season, Haig was released and joined Merthyr Tydfil.[2] After three seasons with Merthyr, Haig moved into the Welsh Premier League with Ton Pentre, his most prolific scoring year coming during the 1994–95 season when he finished the year with 19 goals.[3] He left Ton Pentre in 1996, spending two years with Inter Cabletel.

Management career

During the 2007–08 season, Haig was appointed manager of Welsh Football League Division One side Cambrian & Clydach Vale,[4] having previously acted as both assistant manager and reserve team manager at the club.[5]

In July 2014 he was appointed by AFC Porth as their manager.[6]

gollark: If I did that, wouldn't it incorrectly try and free a node if it had just been added to a tree?
gollark: A node is only going to need to be the root of a document tree somewhere (needs freeing once all operations on it are done), part of a tree owned somewhere else (will be freed when the root is), or something which is going to be appended to a tree soon™.
gollark: Can I just `GC_unref` it when adding it to a tree, or something like that? Does that work for `--gc:orc`?
