Bradford City[]
2009–10 season[]
Hanson signed his first professional contract with Bradford City in July 2009,[9] 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.[10] 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.[11][12] Hanson scored his first goal for Bradford on 22 August 2009, in a 5–4 victory away at Cheltenham Town.[13][14] Hanson won the Player of the Year award during his first season at Bradford City,[15] and was rewarded with a new, improved contract for the next four years.[16]
2011–12 season[]
In February 2012, Hanson suffered a groin injury, and was estimated to miss six weeks of matches.[17] During the 2011–12 season, Hanson scored 14 goals, his highest tally to date in three years as a professional.[18]
2012–13 season[]
In October 2012, teammate Andrew Davies stated his belief that Hanson's goals would help the club achieve promotion.[19] He scored Bradford City's goal in the second leg League Cup semi-final tie against Aston Villa, and was named Man Of The Match for the second leg, helping Bradford to the League Cup final.[20] Hanson had a broken toe prior to the match, and received an injection for it 15 minutes before kick-off.[21] Hanson's performance was praised by former manager Steve Kittrick.[22]
Hanson played in the 2013 Football League Cup Final; after the match, he said he believed Bradford City would return to Wembley via the League Two play-offs.[23] Hanson scored two goals in the next three League matches, reaching 10 goals for the season,[24] and later that month he stated that the club had to win both forthcoming Easter games.[25] In April 2013, Hanson spoke of the "buzz" around the club as they mounted a play-off challenge.[26] On 5 May, he scored a vital goal in the second leg of the play-off semi-final against Burton Albion, helping Bradford overcome a 3–2 deficit from the home leg to win the game 3–1 and the tie 5–4 on aggregate.[27][28] In the Final at Wembley, Hanson scored in a 3–0 victory against Northampton Town,[29] and later spoke about how he was looking forward to playing in a higher division.[30]
2013–14 season[]
Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson said that only a high-money bid would persuade the club to sell either Hanson and fellow striker Nahki Wells.[31] In July 2013, Hanson was praised by former Bradford City left-back Wayne Jacobs,[32] and in August 2013 Hanson spoke positively of his partnership with teammate Nahki Wells.[33] Wells has also publicly praised his strike partnership with Hanson,[34] as has journalist Simon Parker, who described them as "[one of] the best front pairs that League One has to offer."[35] Hanson has also been praised by manager Phil Parkinson.[36] In October 2013 Hanson spoke about his use of a mind coach.[37] On 29 November 2013 he signed a new contract with the club, taking him up to the end of the 2016–17 season,[38][39] and becoming the first player at the club to sign a new contract that season.[40] In December 2013 fellow Bradford City player Andrew Davies described Wells and Hanson as the best strike pair in the division.[41] The partnership ended when Wells was sold to Huddersfield Town in January 2014.[42] In February 2014, after Hanson scored his 10th goal of the season, Davies spoke about Hanson's increase in playing form.[43] In March 2014, Hanson spoke about new strike partner Aaron McLean's lack of goals for the club,[44] while Hanson himself had scored 6 goals in 9 games.[45] That same month Hanson was revealed as the player in 3 divisions of the Football League who had committed the most fouls in the 2013–14 season to date; he was defended by manager Phil Parkinson.[46] Throughout March and April, Hanson suffered a number of minor injuries which prevented him from playing,[47][48] making only 1 appearance in the past 7 games as of 25 April 2014.[49][50] His work-rate during that season was later praised by former teammate Andy Gray.[51]

At the start of the 2015–16 season, Hanson discussed his striker partnership with new summer signing Devante Cole.[67] He was dropped from the starting XI in October 2015, following a poor performance in a previous game, having played every game up to that point of the season.[68] After an injury to his replacement Steve Davies, Hanson returned to the first-team later that month,[69] scoring in his first game back in the starting XI.[70] In November 2015 he suffered an ankle ligaments injury in an FA Cup game.[71]
