Hanley is an attacking left-back.[3][4] He is also able to play in central midfield.[5]
Hanley began his career at Fletcher Moss Rangers.[2] He then moved onto Manchester United in 2004.[6]
Hanley joined Blackburn Rovers from Manchester United following a successful trial in 2010.[6] He initially struggled with injuries, before he played regular under-21 football in the centre of midfield during the 2011–12 season as the Academy reached the final of the FA Youth Cup and the Academy League National Final.[6] At the end of the 2012–13 season, he was offered a new contract by the club, without making a single first team appearance.[7]
He joined Swansea City in January 2014.[5] He signed a new one-year contract with the "Swans" in April 2015.[8] At the end of the 2015–16 season, Hanley was released by the club, without making a single first team appearance.
He signed a two-year contract with Northampton Town in June 2016.[9] Hanley said that manager Rob Page convinced him that Northampton was the best place for him to advance his career, and promised to challenge David Buchanan for a first-team place.[3]
Hanley made his senior debut for the "Cobblers" after coming on as a 57th minute substitute for JJ Hooper in a 3–0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on 30 August 2016, in an EFL Trophy group stage match at Sixfields Stadium.[10] However, Hanley spent the most of the season on the sideline, making 5 appearances in all competitions, as he was surplus to requirements at Northampton Town in his first season.[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] Although the move never happened, Hanley remained at the club and continued to remain surplus to requirements, though he appeared in the 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 7 appearances for FC Halifax Town.
He was released by Northampton at the end of the 2017–18 season, following their relegation.[17]
After a little over one month at Connah's Quay Nomads,[18] Chorley announced on 28 April 2019 by Twitter, that Hanley had joined the club until the end of the season.[19]
Hanley joined National League North club Hereford on 2 August 2019 after a successful trial period.[20]
He signed for Mossley in November 2019.[21]
In January 2020 he joined Radcliffe.[22]
Hanley previously represented England U19, being called up for the first time in October 2012.[23] He went on to earn 3 caps.[24]
Hanley's grandfather was from Saint Kitts and Nevis.[25] 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.[26]
