Career
Haynes-Brown was born in Ipswich, Suffolk. He started his career at Colchester United spending seven years in the youth and reserve sides, during this time having a three-week trial for Ipswich Town, before being released in May 2008.

In July 2011, Haynes-Brown went on trial with Football League Two side Crewe Alexandra but failed to earn a contract. Following this, Haynes-Brown then went on trial with Football League One side Yeovil Town, this move angered Lowestoft's joint-manager Ady Gallagher who claimed Yeovil showed his club a lack of respect. Despite this Haynes-Brown signed a two-year contract with Yeovil, who paid Lowestoft a fee for his services. On 6 August 2011, Haynes-Brown made his debut in the 56th minute by coming on a substitute for Max Ehmer in a 2–0 defeat against Brentford. On 23 August 2012, Haynes-Brown joined League Two side AFC Wimbledon on loan for a month.

After being injured in his first game for Wimbledon, Haynes-Brown appeared six times for Wimbledon in total before he returned to Yeovil at the completion of his two-month loan deal. On 22 November, after only appearing once for Yeovil since his return from Wimbledon, Haynes-Brown joined Conference National side Cambridge United on loan until January 2013.
