Hatfield Swaps Darlo For Fylde

Will Hatfield, who missed a penalty against Hereford last Saturday, is moving from Darlington to AFC Fylde.

But unlike Hereford who won't receive a penny from York for Maziar Kouhyar as he wasn't under contract, Darlington are to receive a fee for Hatfield.

“Fylde contacted us in the proper manner last week and they have given Will the opportunity to go full time which at this stage in his career he found too good to turn down," said Darlington chairman David Johnston. 

"Will was out of contract in the summer and could have left for nothing so reluctantly we agreed to the transfer after Fylde activated a clause that enabled them to talk to Will.  

"We did try to persuade Will with a very good offer to stay, probably one of our highest ever, but we couldn’t match the terms."
