The former England C regular has had his contract mutually cancelled by AFC Telford United following the termination of the National League North season.
It marks a return to Non-League’s top-flight where his performances for AFC Fylde and the Three Lions landed him the England C Player of the Year in 2019 and a move to the EFL with Walsall.
Hardy, 24, made his first appearance for Phil Parkinson’s Alty from the subs’ bench in Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat to Chesterfield.
And he’s excited about helping the Robins continue their excellent season at Step 1.
“It’s trying to find the form I know I’m capable of and enjoy playing football and getting on the ball,” Hardy told The NLP.
