Paul Edward Hayes (born December 9 1983 in Dagenham, England) is an English footballer with Football League Championship side Scunthorpe United.

Hayes grew up in East London and went to Barclay Junior School in Leyton, where he captained the school football team from the age of 7. He later attended Norlington School for Boys.

Hayes started his footballing career as a school boy with Norwich City where he spent 3 years, before signing for Scunthorpe United in 2002. He made over 115 appearances, scoring 33 goals. Hayes scored 19 goals in one season to help Scunthorpe gain promotion to League One in 2004-2005.

Hayes joined Barnsley in the summer of 2005 and impressed the Oakwell faithful highly by scoring the opener in the League One Play off final in May 2006 as well as calmly scoring from the spot in the penalty shoot out which Barnsley won 4-3 gaining them promotion to the Championship. At the time of writing, Hayes has made 57 appearances for the Reds scoring 17 goals along the way.

On February 23, 2007, he joined League One side Huddersfield Town on loan with view to a permanent deal, as cover for striker Andy Booth, partially because he was falling down Barnsley's pecking order following the signing of Hungarian duo István Ferenczi and Péter Rajczi.

On March 10, 2007, he scored his first goal for Huddersfield Town in their 2-0 home victory against local neighbours Bradford City. On March 22, he returned to Barnsley. Hayes then returned to Scunthorpe United on June 13 for a fee to be decided by a tribunal.
