Tiffany Hayes, the reigning WNBA Sixth Player of the Year, signed with the expansion Golden State Valkyries on Thursday.

Contract details were not announced.

Hayes spent 2024 with the Las Vegas Aces, her first year with the club, and came off the bench for 28 of her 33 appearances. She contributed 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game and shot 40.2 percent from 3-point range for one of the top teams in the WNBA.

Hayes, 35, played most of her career with the Atlanta Dream (2012-22) and spent 2023 with the Connecticut Sun.

An All-Star in 2017, her best season came in 2018, when she was named to the All-WNBA and All-Defensive teams and finished sixth in MVP voting after averaging a career-high 17.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals across 31 games (29 starts),

The Valkyries will begin play in the 2025 season. They assembled their initial roster via an expansion draft in December, but Hayes was signed as an unrestricted free agent.
