Benjamin George Hatton (born 1 November 2005) is an English Professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for North Ferriby on loan from EFL League One club Rotherham United.

Career

Hatton progressed through the Rotherham United academy, receiving his first professional contract in January 2024.[3] In April 2024, first-team manager Leam Richardson confirmed that he would be joining the first-team picture permanently as a rookie having been training with the squad for a number of weeks. .[4] On 10 April 2024, Hatton made his senior debut for the already relegated Millers, replacing Andy Rinomhota in the final minute of a 2–0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.[5]

On 13 March 2025, Hatton joined National League North side Warrington Town on loan for the remainder of the season.[6] Following the conclusion of the 2024–25 season, Rotherham announced that they had exercised a one-year contract extension for Hatton.[7]

Shortly after recovering from a hamstring injury picked up during his loan spell with Warrington Town, he suffered a torn hamstring in July 2025, expected to rule him out for a period in excess of three months.[8] In February 2026, he joined Northern Premier League Division One East club North Ferriby on a one-month youth loan.[9]
