Williams praised his fitness, consistency and leadership: “I'm over the moon to keep Iwan with us as his performances have rightfully attracted a lot of interest from other clubs in the league.
“Keeping a player of his level I think shows what we're trying to achieve this year and reflects the quality of players we're looking to add into the mix.
“He's missed one game in two years to suspension, so he's an ever-present in the team, brings fantastic energy on and off the pitch, and is a real leader among the group."
Young and versatile winger returns Hartley returns to the club after impressing since joining in January 2024 from Newtown AFC.
He said: "Coming in last year was a great experience; with great people at the club, I felt right at home straight away.
