At every club that I have played for, my goal has always been to add glory to my jersey number till the day I depart.”.

Owen Coyle said: “Hartley is a massive signing for us. He brings in so much experience from playing in the English leagues and the Scottish Premiership. He is a central defender with great capability and a born leader. He is a fighter who is mentally strong and a fierce competitor. Hartley hates conceding goals and that’s the attitude I need from my center-back.”.

Peter Hartley will hope to repeat his success with Jamshedpur FC in ISL as well. He will wear the No 29 shirt at Jamshedpur.
