Grant Hanley, born on 20 November 1991 (age 34), is a Scottish central defender with Hibernian, where he wears squad number four. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Hanley was already established at Blackburn Rovers by 2012-13, his most productive league season, when he scored twice in 39 appearances. That spell showed the basic shape of his career: a defender trusted for volume, durability and the less decorative parts of the job.
