kept him out until March 2009. He started to find the form on his return to the side, scoring his first goal of the season in narrow 2–1 defeat to Watford on 4 April 2009. He scored another 3 goals in the 2008/9 season against Ipswich Town, Plymouth Argyle, and Crystal Palace, taking his goal tally for the season to 4. He made a good start to the 2009/10 season as well, scoring on an opening day at Watford, and also grabbing goals in games against Cardiff, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace to take his tally for the season to 4 in early December. He ended the 2009/10 season with 9 goals – a very good achievement given that Hayter played the majority of the season in a deeper role in the team due to Rovers' success using Billy Sharp as a lone striker. He renewed his contract with Rovers in the summer of 2010, signing on for another two years. Hayter started the 2010/11 season well, scoring a headed goal in Doncaster's opening day win against Preston North End at Deepdale. Most of Hayter's goals for Rovers in the 2010/11 season have been headers and he has proved himself to be one of the best headers of the ball outside the Premiership. His headed goal against Middlesbrough on 17 December was his 7th league goal of the season. In May 2012, Hayter was released by the club after the expiry of his contract. Yeovil Town On 28 June 2012, Hayter signed for League One side Yeovil Town on a two-year contract, taking the vacant number 9 shirt. He scored two of Yeovil's goals in a 3 – 1 away win over Brentford on 21 August. Two weeks later, he got a goal against his former club Doncaster Rovers in a 2 – 1 win for Yeovil. Hayter scored twice in Yeovil's 2–2 draw with Torquay United in the Football League Trophy, as well as netting in the penalty shootout to help the Glovers through to the next round. On 19 May 2013, Hayter won promotion via the play-offs for the third time in his career as Yeovil were promoted to the Championship for the first time in the club's history. Hayter was released by Yeovil at the end of the 2014–15 season following their relegation to League Two. Havant & Waterlooville In June 2015, Hayter joined Conference South side
