Halifax Town later that month,[15] making his debut on 24 January 2012 as a 66th-minute substitute in a 2–2 home draw with Gainsborough Trinity in the Conference North.[16]

On 10 February 2012, Hatfield re-signed for League Two club Accrington Stanley on a contract until the end of 2011–12 season.[17] He signed a new one-year contract with the club in June 2012.[18] He scored four goals in an FA Cup tie against A.F.C. Fylde on 3 November 2012.[19]
