In January 2024, Haye confirmed that he had decided to represent Indonesia at international level.

Haye started his career as an attacking midfielder but adapted to various positions as he progressed. During his two seasons with Willem II, he frequently operated as a left winger, utilising his strong and accurate right foot to cut inside from the flank. His versatility made him an exceptional utility player. As his career advanced, he transitioned to a more defensive role, primarily playing as a central midfielder.
