A Plymouth Albion wing-forward, Hanley was capped seven times for England, including all four matches of their 1928 Five Nations campaign, where his try in final fixture against Scotland helped secure the grand slam.[1][2]
Hanley was falsely reported to have been killed following a German raid on Plymouth in 1941.[3]
