British defender Peter Hartley has big boots to fill this season at Jamshedpur FC as the former Motherwell FC centre-back has been roped in by the club to replace their talismanic defender Tiri.
Tiri was a mainstay at Jamshedpur’s backline since the club’s inception in 2017 and has been one of the best defenders in the country in the past three seasons. This year though, the club parted ways with Spaniard who, after agreeing terms with Kerala Blasters, ended up joining ATK Mohun Bagan.
The 32-year-old Hartley is also a seasoned campaigner who has the experience of playing in the Premier League with Sunderland and Scottish Premier League with Motherwell.
