Joseph Colin Hatch (born 7 September 2006) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a forward for Torquay United, on loan from EFL League One club Plymouth Argyle.
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] In January 2026, he joined National League South club Torquay United on a one-month loan.[10]
