Club career

Czech Republic

Born in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Hainault began his professional career with Montreal Impact in the USL First Division in 2004, and played three competitive games for the team prior to signing with small Czech side SIAD Most. Hainault played there alongside former star striker Horst Siegl and made 46 appearances for Most in the Gambrinus liga and the Czech 2. Liga. He scored a game-winning goal for them in the 88th minute of his league debut against Slovácko in February 2006. He also spent a brief time on loan with Sparta Prague before returning to North America.

The Houston Dynamo announced on April 14, 2009, that they had secured Hainault's international transfer certificate from Most; he had been training with the team throughout the 2009 pre-season. Hainault was signed to a standard four-year MLS contract and made a base salary of $55,125 in 2009.[2] He made his MLS debut for Houston on May 3, 2009, coming on as a substitute for Wade Barrett in a game against New England Revolution.[3]

Hainault turned down a call-up for two 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification matches due to an important club match-up against the Portland Timbers on October 15, 2011. It turned out to be a major factor in the game, with Hainault scoring his first goal of the season and opening goal of the game from a Brad Davis free kick. Houston went on to a 2–0 away win, clinching a playoff spot. Later in 2011, he scored two playoff goals, including the opening goal in a 2–0 win in the Eastern Conference Final of the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs, sending the Dynamo to their first MLS Cup since 2007.[4] Houston fell to the Los Angeles Galaxy on November 20, 2011, in a 1–0 final, with a goal from Landon Donovan.[5]

After an off-season with much speculation of a transfer to Bordeaux, Hainault remained in Houston for 2012 and scored the game-winning goal over Chivas USA in the season opener on March 11, 2012.[6]

Scottish Premier League

After the 2012 Major League Soccer season, a season in which Hainault was dropped from the starting line-up for the final two months, he signed for Scottish Premier League club Ross County on a free transfer.[7][8] Former Dynamo teammate and former Ross County player Adam Moffat sold him on the decision.[9] It was announced on January 29 that Hainault had been approved for a work permit to officially join the club.[10] Hainault made his debut for the club on February 23, 2013 against Motherwell as a 90th-minute substitute for Paul Lawson.[11][12] On May 19, 2013, Hainault became an instant legend with the Ross County faithful with a 10-yard volleyed goal in the 1–0 win against fierce local rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle to end the Inverness team's hopes of qualifying for Europe for the first time ever. The goal was Hainault's first for the club.[13] Following the season, despite reports that Ross County were set to re-sign him,[14] Hainault did not sign a new contract and left the club after manager Derek Adams gave up re-signing Hainault for another season.[15]

Germany

On July 4, 2013, it was announced that Hainault would join German club VfR Aalen of the 2. Bundesliga on a two-year contract beginning with the 2013–14 2. Bundesliga season.[16][17] Hainault played 40 matches for Aalen, but saw his contract not renewed in 2015. He then joined newly promoted 3. Liga side 1. FC Magdeburg on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract.[18] On 20 April 2016, he extended his contract with 1. FC Magdeburg until 2018.[19]

International career

Hainault played all three of Canada's matches at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. He made his senior debut for Canada in a November 2006 friendly match against Hungary. By December 2009, he had earned a total of 15 caps, scoring one goal. He has so far represented Canada in three FIFA World Cup qualification matches.[20] On March 29, 2011, Hainault scored his second international goal from a Will Johnson corner kick in friendly versus Belarus.[21]
