Paul Hanlon, born on 20 January 1990 in Scotland, is a central defender currently plying his trade for Raith Rovers. Standing 6ft (1.85m) tall and tipping the scales at 12st 3lb (78kg), Hanlon fashions the number 4 jersey.
Looking into his market valuation, Hanlon is esteemed close to £90,000 as per Transfermarkt.
In January 2008, Hanlon embarked on his professional career with Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. During his time at Hibs, his contributions were consistent and praiseworthy. From his debut season in 2007/2008 until the 2023/2024 season, Hanlon clocked considerable first team appearances every season, ranging from a low of 21 all the way to 37 appearances in a season. During these years, he also betted a modest but notable sum of goals from his central defence position, with tally ranging from a solitary goal in a few seasons to a peak of four goals in the 2014/2015 season.
In addition, his football journey also had brief detours. In December 2008, Hanlon temporarily departed from Hibernian to join St Johnstone in the Championship, on loan. His stint with St Johnstone was brief but noteworthy, making two first team appearances in league matches during the 2008/2009 season.
Upon completion of his loan spell in January 2009, Hanlon made his return to Hibernian. Following his return, Hanlon continued to prove his dedication and commitment to Hibs, making his presence felt with repeated first team appearances in each season from 2009/2010 to 2023/2024, while also making his mark on the scoreboard.
However, in July 2024, a new chapter began as Hanlon transferred from Hibernian to Raith Rovers, still plying his trade in Scotland. He had a stellar debut season, making 33 first team appearances and scoring twice. Progressing into the current 2025/2026 season, Hanlon has already made 15 first team appearances and found the net twice. His involvement has also been evident in cup competitions, with four starts in the 2025/2026 League Cup and two starts in the Scottish Cup of 2024/2025 for Raith Rovers.
