Paul Hanlon (born 20 January 1990, age 36) is a Scottish centre-half now with Raith Rovers, wearing squad number four. His market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is overwhelmingly tied to Hibernian. After coming through there, early loan football helped move him from prospect to senior defender, and he went on to spend 17 seasons in the Hibs first team. Across that spell he made 453 league appearances and scored 22 league goals, which is the sort of service that tends to say enough without needing much embroidery.
His most productive league season came in 2014-15, when he scored four times in 31 appearances for Hibernian. That was not really the main point of his game, of course. Hanlon’s value at Easter Road was built more on continuity, reliability and the simple fact that, for a very long time, he was there.
By 2026-27 he was with Raith Rovers in the Championship. He has made nine Championship appearances and one Scottish Cup appearance for the club this season, with his form described as solid and consistent.
Hanlon’s career has been shaped by a long Hibernian spell, with Raith Rovers providing the later chapter. He has been a steady Scottish centre-half rather than a showy one, and his record reflects that plainly.
