Career
Early career
Born in Bradford, Hanson started as a youth player in 1997 at Huddersfield Town, but was released at the age of 15. He instead played semi-professional non-league football with Eccleshill United and Guiseley, balancing his football career with a job in a local Co-operative supermarket in Idle, Bradford.[1] Hanson scored 46 goals in his two seasons with Guiseley.[2]
Professional career
Hanson signed his first professional contract with Bradford City in July 2009,[3] with his transfer fee set by a tribunal hearing six months later at a figure close to £7,500, a sell-on clause and the agreement of a friendly between the two sides.[4] Hanson made his debut for Bradford on the opening day of the 2009–10 season, on 8 August 2009, in a 5–0 defeat against Notts County.[5][6] Hanson scored his first goal for Bradford on 22 August 2009, in a 5–4 victory away at Cheltenham Town.[7][8] Hanson won the Player of the Year award during his first season at Bradford City[9] and was rewarded with a new, improved contract for the next four years.[10]
