Speaking to the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Hayter is quoted as saying: "I've got my job to do. I'm paid by Bournemouth to do my job and I'll be doing that to the best of my ability until I'm told otherwise. We know Bournemouth are a selling club and it's always been that way. We've both got six months left on our contracts and, with a couple of the lads leaving at the end of last season, I suppose they don't want to be in the same position again. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm a Bournemouth player and I'll be doing my best for Bournemouth until I'm told I'm going elsewhere. I've always wanted to test myself and you always think 'could I play at a higher level?' Hopefully, in an ideal world, that could be with Bournemouth, but you never know. I'm getting on a little bit now. I'll be 27 in April so maybe it's a good time in my life if I want to test myself".
