He signed a new three-year contract, which last until 2013.[9] He scored his first Motherwell goal with a free-kick against his father's former club Rangers in February 2010.[10] After the match, Hateley said scoring against Rangers was the best goal of his career and that his dad even congratulated him.[2]

In the 2010–11 season, Hateley made his European debut, in the first round; first leg of the Europa League campaign, in a 1–0 win over Breiðablik.[11] Then in second leg against them, Hateley provided assist for Jamie Murphy to send the club through to the next round.
