Liam Hatch

On 13 January 2012, Hatch signed for Gateshead, along with Jamie Chandler, for a nominal fee. He made his debut as a second-half substitute against Kettering Town on 24 January 2012. He agreed a new one-year contract with the club in May 2012 to cover the 2012–13 season. At the end of the 2013–14 season, Hatch was released by Gateshead.

On 1 January 2011 Hatch signed for Darlington on a permanent one-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee, rejecting a move to rivals Grimsby Town.

Hatch rejoined Darlington in July 2010 on loan until January 2011.

Along with eleven other players, Hatch was placed on the transfer list at Peterborough following their promotion to the Championship. Despite interest from twelve clubs, including three in League One, Hatch signed for Conference Premier side Luton Town on a season-long loan, with a view to a permanent move, on 5 June 2009. He incurred an ankle injury in pre-season, and did not make his first appearance for the club until 12 September. He played in three further games before being sidelined once more through the same ankle problem. He made his return nearly four months later on 27 January 2010, playing a key role in a 2–0 victory over Histon. He started in a 3–2 loss to Ebbsfleet United three days later, scoring his first goal for the club. After the defeat, Luton manager Richard Money singled out Hatch for praise, claiming he "has played [Ebbsfleet] on his own". On 7 May 2010, Hatch left Luton as a result of his loan period ending.

Hatch joined Peterborough from Barnet in January 2008 for a fee of £150,000. He scored two goals in twelve games for Peterborough as they were promoted to League One. At the start of the 2008–09 season, with playing chances at London Road limited, he moved on loan to Darlington. On 18 November 2008, in an FA Cup game against Droylsden, Hatch suffered a suspected broken neck after a collision with teammate Ritchie Foran, prompting the game to be delayed for 35 minutes. However, scans later confirmed that Hatch had not broken his neck in the incident. He returned to Peterborough on 5 January 2009, before returning to Darlington on loan until the end of the 2008–09 season on 8 January.

Hatch moved to Conference side Barnet at the beginning of the 2003–04 season for a fee of £23,000. He was a member of the Barnet team that won promotion to The Football League in the 2004–05 season, scoring ten league goals. Hatch managed just five goals over the next two seasons for Barnet in League Two, prompting manager Paul Fairclough to place him on the transfer list at the beginning of the 2007–08 season. However, he fought back into the first team in October, going on to score six goals in his next nine games. He totalled eight goals in the first half of the season, attracting the attention of other clubs. In December 2007, it was announced that Hatch would join Peterborough United for a fee of £150,000 at the start of the January transfer window.

Born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, Hatch started his career with Kent League side Ramsgate, before joining Herne Bay in 2001 and moving to Gravesend & Northfleet in 2001. He was part of the side that won the Isthmian League Premier Division in the 2001–02 season, resulting in promotion to the Football Conference.
