Grant Hanley, born on 20 November 1991 (age 34), is a Scottish central defender with Hibernian, where he wears squad number 4. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Hanley came through at Blackburn Rovers and established himself there as a first-team defender rather than a passing prospect. His most productive league season came in 2012-2013, when he scored two goals in 39 league appearances – modest enough in front of goal, but a decent indicator of his place in the side.
Now with Hibernian, Hanley remains a regular first-team presence in 2025-2026. He has made 24 league appearances this season without scoring, which rather fits the profile: a centre-half in the side to defend first, decorate later if absolutely required.
He has also stayed involved with Scotland, making one World Cup appearance and four appearances in European qualifying this season. At this stage of his career, Hanley is not a developing name or a fading squad filler, but an experienced defender still being used regularly for club and country.
