Early career

[edit]

Born in Cologne, Hartel started playing football as a youth for SC West Köln. In 2002, he joined 1. FC Köln's youth system.[4] Having moved through the club's youth ranks, he made his Bundesliga debut on 20 February 2016, in a 1–0 away defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[5] During the 2016–17 season, he made 12 appearances for 1. FC Köln's reserves scoring three goals and contributing five assists.[4]

Union Berlin

[edit]

In May 2017, Union Berlin announced the signing of Hartel on a three-year deal.[4] He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw with Arminia Bielefeld. On 31 January 2019, he scored against his former side, Köln, after controlling the ball up into the air and hitting a stunning bicycle kick. The goal was voted Goal of the Month by viewers of Sportschau on ARD,[6] and later also Goal of the Year.[7]

Arminia Bielefeld

On 27 July 2019, after playing a key role in Union Berlin's historic promotion to the Bundesliga, Hartel joined Arminia Bielefeld.[8] In the 2019–20 season, he was part of the title-winning team winning promotion to the Bundesliga.[9] Performing strongly in pre-season, he became one of the undisputed regulars of Arminia at the start of the 2020–21 season and appeared in all the games in the first half of the season.[10] As head coach Uwe Neuhaus was replaced by Frank Kramer in March 2021,[11] Hartel lost his place in midfield.[12] He finished the season with 22 league appearances[13] and one in the cup by the end of the season, as they were eliminated in the first round against Regionalliga side Rot-Weiss Essen.[14]
