Peter Hartley (born 3 April 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Bristol Rovers.
Hartley began his career at Sunderland in 2000, joining the club on a youth contract. He progressed through the youth ranks at Sunderland, and signed his first professional contract in 2006, starting with a one-year. Hartley later revealed that he was released at first, but then had his contract renewed. Hartley made his debut for the Sunderland first-team on 1 January 2007, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute in a 2–0 away win against Leicester City. It proved to be Hartley's only first-team appearance for the club, although he featured regularly for Sunderland's second-string over the next two seasons. At the 2006–07 season, Hartley was among youngsters to be retained ahead of a new season. Mid-way through the 2007–08 season, in February 2008, Hartley was loaned out to League Two side Chesterfield on an initial one-month loan. He made his debut for Chesterfield a day after signing, on 23 February, playing the whole match as the club secured a 1–0 victory over Brentford. Hartley impressed during his month with the club, and the loan deal was extended for the remainder of the campaign, with the defender making twelve appearances before returning to his parent club in May 2008. He left Sunderland at the end of the 2008–09 campaign, rejecting the option to stay a further year.
He signed for his hometown club Hartlepool United in May 2009.
Hartley made his debut in the opening game of the season in a 1–1 draw against Milton Keynes Dons Hartley scored his first goal of the season, in a 1–0 win over Tranmere Rovers on 24 October 2009. Six weeks later, on 4 December 2009, Hartley scored his second goal of the season, in a 3–0 win over Millwal. After the match, Hartley tells BBC Tees that he delighted to score in the match and glad to extend his goal tally. In a 2–1 win over Oldham Athletic on 2 January 2010, Hartley was then sent-off in the 83rd minutes after he attempted to headbutt Sean Gregan in off the ball incident. After serving a three match ban, Hartley made his return for the club on 26 January 2010, in a 1–1 draw against Gillingham. Hartley would make forty-one appearance in all competitions and scoring three times.
