Career

Hatch joined the Plymouth Argyle academy aged thirteen from local club Braunton Wanderers, being offered an early scholarship with the club aged just fifteen. [3] He officially signed a scholarship deal in July 2023. [4]

On 1 October 2024, Hatch made his senior debut as a late substitute in a 1–0 Championship defeat against Burnley. [5] Following his debut, manager Wayne Rooney revealed that Hatch had yet to train with the first-team and had been given his opportunity due to first-team injuries. [6] The following month however, he was ruled out for the remainder of the season after undergoing knee ligament reconstruction surgery. [7]

Following relegation at the end of the 2024–25 season, Hatch signed a first professional contract. [8]

In September 2025, he joined Southern League Premier Division South club Taunton Town on loan until January 2026. [9]

International career

In April 2022, Hatch was called up to the Wales U16 squad for the first time. [10]
