Club career

[edit]

Rangers

[edit]

Hardie, from Stranraer, is a boyhood Rangers fan.[3] He made his professional debut for the team in a League Cup match against Falkirk on 23 September 2014, replacing Dean Shiels for the last four minutes of a 3–1 win at the Falkirk Stadium.[4] He was first called up for a league game on 15 November, remaining an unused substitute in a 1–1 draw with Alloa Athletic at Ibrox.[5] On 28 March 2015, he made his Scottish Championship debut, replacing Nicky Clark for the final 16 minutes of a 4–1 home win over Cowdenbeath.[6] Hardie's first start was on 18 April away to Dumbarton and he scored his first two professional goals as they came from behind to win 3–1, the second being an overhead kick from Lee Wallace's cross.[7]

On 17 February 2016, Hardie was loaned out to Raith Rovers on an initial month-long loan;[8] however, this was extended to the end of the season a month later.[9] On 25 July 2016, Hardie joined Scottish Championship club St Mirren on loan until January 2017.[10] He made his debut in the League Cup against Edinburgh City on 30 July 2016.[11] Hardie moved on loan again to Raith Rovers in January 2017, on a deal until May 2017.[12] In January 2018, he returned to the second tier of Scottish football, this time signing a six-month loan deal with Livingston.[13] Upon his return to Rangers, Hardie signed a one-year contract extension to tie him to the club until 2019.[14]

Hardie again signed on loan for Livingston for the first part of the 2018–19 season. In January 2019 he signed another one-year contract with Rangers, and returned on loan to Livingston.[15]

Blackpool

[edit]

Hardie moved to EFL League One club Blackpool for an undisclosed fee in July 2019.[16] He scored his first goal for Blackpool when he scored in an EFL Trophy tie against Morecambe on 3 September 2019.[17]

He signed on loan for Plymouth Argyle for the rest of the 2019–20 season on 9 January 2020.[18] On 29 July, he returned to Plymouth on loan until the end of the 2020–21 season.[19]

Halfway through his second loan spell at the club, Hardie completed a permanent move on 29 January 2021.[20]

On 25 May 2023 Hardie signed a new three-year contract with Plymouth Argyle after finishing the 2022–23 League One season as the club's top scorer with 17 goals.[21]

On 5 August 2023 Hardie scored his 50th goal for the club in 164 appearances.[22][23]
