Grant Hanley, born on 20 November 1991 (age 34), is a Scottish central defender with Hibernian, where he wears squad number 4. He is an established defender rather than a developing prospect, and his career has been built on first-team football rather than noise around it.
His strongest league season for attacking return came with Blackburn Rovers in 2012-13, when he made 39 appearances and scored two goals. For a centre-half, that is a useful enough marker without pretending he was there to settle matches in the opposition box.
At Hibernian in 2026-27, Hanley has made six league appearances and one more in the Conference League Qualifiers, taking him to seven appearances across all competitions. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Hanley’s career is the shape of an experienced Scottish centre-back: solid senior grounding, a productive spell at Blackburn by his own standards, and a later role at Hibernian as a seasoned defensive option.
