The former basketballer joins the AFL after two years at the Perth Wildcats.
Clubs are able to sign Category B rookies directly with Hayes-Brown qualifying as a player coming from a non-traditional background and not being registered to play Aussie Rules for three years.
After giving up his basketball career, Soldo has gone on to play 56 games for the Tigers, including being a member of the 2019 premiership side. North Melbourne veteran Hugh Greenwood is arguably the most successful former basketballer in the AFL, having racked up 118 games with Adelaide, Gold Coast at the Kangaroos.
The Tigers missed the finals for the second time in three years and endured a nightmare campaign with three-time premiership coach Damien Hardwick’s shock resignation midway through the year.
