Club career

Youth football

Hanley played for junior club Fletcher Moss Rangers before signing with the Manchester United academy in 2004.[2][6]

Blackburn and Swansea

Hanley joined Blackburn Rovers from Manchester United following a successful trial in 2010.[6] He initially struggled with injuries, but went on to play a successful role in the club's run in the 2011–12 FA Youth Cup, scoring in the semi-final against Burnley and playing both legs of the final against Chelsea in the centre of midfield as his side lost 4–1 on aggregate.[6] He would also play regular under-21 football season as the Academy reached the final of the Academy League National Final. At the end of the 2012–13 season, he was offered a new contract by the club.[7]

Hanley joined Swansea City in January 2014.[5] He signed a new one-year contract with the Premier League side in April 2015.[8] At the end of the 2015–16 season, Hanley was released without having made a single first team appearance.

Northampton Town

Hanley signed a two-year contract with League One side Northampton Town in June 2016.[9] He promised to challenge David Buchanan for a first-team place, saying that manager Rob Page convinced him that Northampton was the best place for him to advance his career.[3]

Hanley made his senior debut for Northampton as a 57th minute substitute for JJ Hooper in a 3–0 home defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on 30 August 2016, in an EFL Trophy group stage match.[10] However, Hanley spent the most of the season on the sidelines, making five appearances in all competitions.[11] At the end of the 2016–17 season, he was among four players to be placed on a transfer list.[12]

Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Hanley went on a trial with Oxford United and featured in a trial match.[13] In the season that followed he played for the Northampton first team on four occasions.[14] On 10 March 2018, Hanley was loaned out to Halifax Town for the rest of the season.[15] He made his FC Halifax Town debut on 10 March 2018, in a 3–1 win over Woking.[16] He went on to make seven appearances for the National League side.

Hanley was released by Northampton at the end of the 2017–18 season, following their relegation from League One.[17]

Non-league career

On 28 April 2019, after a little over one month at Connah's Quay Nomads, Hanley moved to National League North side Chorley until the end of the season.[18][19]

Hanley joined National League North club Hereford on 2 August 2019 after a successful trial period.[20] He subsequently signed for Mossley in November 2019 and Radcliffe in January 2020.[21][22]

In October 2022, Hanley joined Northern Premier League Premier side Stalybridge Celtic and later in the season he would sign for Runcorn Linnets of the Northern Premier Division One West.[23]

On 22 August 2023, North West Counties Premier side West Didsbury & Chorlton announced the signing of Hanley.[24] He made his debut and won the club's supporter-nominated man of the match in a 2–0 victory against Skelmersdale United on the day of his signing.[25]

International career

Hanley represented England U19, being called up for the first time in October 2012.[26] He went on to earn three caps.[27][28][29]

Hanley's grandfather was from Saint Kitts and Nevis.[30] In November 2018, he was called up to Saint Kitts and Nevis national football team and made his debut on 18 November 2018 in a CONCACAF Nations League qualifier against Canada, as a starter.[31] In June 2023, Hanley was selected in his country's squad for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[32] He made one appearance at the tournament, playing the entire match as his side lost 5–0 to Jamaica in the group stage.
