Samuel William "Sam" Hatton (born 7 February 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Conference National side Grimsby Town.

Having started his career with Stevenage Borough, he spent time on loan with Northwood, Yeading, Maidenhead United and Diss Town before moving to AFC Wimbledon in 2007 where he notched up 203 league appearances and 22 goals, also helping them earn promotion to the Football League in 2011.

Club career

Stevenage Borough

Born in St Albans, Hertfordshire, Hatton progressed through the ranks of the Stevenage Borough academy but only played one first team appearance for the Conference side. His time at Stevenage was frustrating, as he was loaned out a total of five times between 2006 and 2007.[3][4]

AFC Wimbledon

In the 2007–8 pre-season, Hatton was signed by AFC Wimbledon.[5] He has performed consistently over the course of five seasons, at first in midfield before converting to right back and was a part of three promotions, including the historic season that saw the club's promotion to the Football League. He was the club's longest serving player,[6] having made 185 league appearances up to the end of the 2011–12 season.

In May 2011, he was voted by the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association as player of the 2010–11 season.[7]

On 15 May 2012, Hatton was released by AFC Wimbledon.[8] Manager Terry Brown announced through the AFC Wimbledon website that the club would not take up an option to extend Hatton's contract for the 2012–13 season. Brown described this as: "Definitely one of the hardest decisions I have had to make as a manager."[9]

Grimsby Town

On 23 June 2012, Hatton signed a two-year contract with Conference National side Grimsby Town.[10]

Having featured in two out of five of Grimsby's games, Hatton was named in the England C squad to face Belgium in Brussels on Wednesday 12 September in an International Challenge Trophy game.[11]

International career

During his time with AFC Wimbledon in the Conference National, Hatton appeared twice for England C,[12] playing in matches against the Republic of Ireland U23[13] in 2010 and Belgium U23[14] in 2011. Hatton was called up to the England C team again in 2012.[11]
