Grant Hanley, born on 20 November 1991 (age 34), is a Scotland centre-half now with Hibernian, where he wears the number four shirt. A seasoned defender rather than a fashionable one, his career has been built on regular first-team football and the usual hard miles that come with the position.
His most productive league season came at Blackburn Rovers in 2012-13, when he scored two goals in 39 appearances. That remains the clearest statistical marker of his time there: a full campaign, plenty of responsibility, and enough at the other end to be worth noting without getting carried away.
At Hibernian in 2026-27, Hanley has made five league appearances and one in the Conference League qualifiers, giving him six appearances in all competitions for the club. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Hanley’s career is that of an established Scottish central defender: substantial experience at Blackburn, a later spell at Hibernian, and a profile shaped more by durability and defensive work than decoration.
