Playing career
Hanson began his career as a trainee with his local club, Middlesbrough, turning professional in August 2000. His development was interrupted by injury and he joined Cambridge United on loan on 22 March 2001,[6] making his league debut on 31 March in a 4–1 defeat away to Peterborough United. On 5 September 2001 he played as a triallist for Grimsby Town reserves against Blackpool reserves and later in the month joined Portsmouth on trial, but neither trial spell led to a permanent move.
In November 2001, Hanson joined Torquay United on a month's loan, prompting manager Roy McFarland to revert to a 4-4-2 formation to allow Hanson to make his Torquay debut the following day in a 2–0 defeat against Halifax Town at The Shay. His loan deal was cancelled by Torquay on 4 January 2002 after he admitted being out drinking alcohol in Torquay on New Year's Eve with a number of teammates,[7] the night before a league match. Torquay defender Martin McNeil was sacked by the club at the same time for the same reason.[8] He returned to Middlesbrough, but was released at the end of the season, joining non-league side Spennymoor United after trials with Sheffield United, Portsmouth and Bristol Rovers.[9]
He joined Havant & Waterlooville in October 2002,[5] as cover for the injured Liam Daish,[9] and was regular for the remainder of the season. He moved back to the North-East of England, joining Billingham Town at the end of the season. He moved back to Spennymoor United in October 2003,[10] but joined Billingham Synthonia for the 2004–05 season.
He returned to the Football League in December 2004 when he joined Port Vale, having been on trial with Oxford United the previous month.[11] He played five times for Vale and was released at the end of the season.[12] He had a trials with Leyton Orient before rejoining Billingham Synthonia in August 2005,[13] moving to Dunston Federation Brewery in late September 2005.[14]
He joined Leyton Orient, initially on non-contract terms, in October 2005.[15] However, he made just two appearances, both as a substitute and was released in January 2006 when he joined Grays Athletic.[16] He was released by Grays in May 2006 despite being a regular during his time at the club.[17] Hanson featured in Chester City's 2–0 loss to Stoke City in a friendly on 11 July 2006. He joined Gateshead in August 2006,[18] but was transfer-listed in January 2007.[19] He returned to Spennymoor before the end of the season, helping them to promotion to the Northern League Division One.
He rejoined Billingham Synthonia in August 2007,[20] and was a regular in their Northern League side.[4]
