Snapped up from Sunderland during the summer of 2009, central defender Hartley had been part of the Black Cats' all-conquering Reserve side.
Born in Hartlepool, he grew up watching football at The Vic but it was at Sunderland where he played his football and after joining them in 2000 he made his First Team debut for the Wearsiders as a substitute in the game at Leicester on New Year's Day 2007.
Hartley also gained league experience from a loan spell with Chesterfield in 2008 when he spent three months with the Spireites and played twelve games.
Determined in the tackle and strong in the air, Hartley is comfortable operating either in the centre of defence or at left-back.
Despite Sunderland making a late offer to retain his services, Hartley's mind was made up and he signed for his hometown club at the end of May 2010 and enjoyed an encouraging first full season at The Vic.
Operating mainly in the full-back role, he bedded in to the Club well before switching to his more favoured centre-back role last term where he shone alongside Sam Collins.
His consistent performances earned him a new deal at The Vic during the summer, news which went down well with supporters.
