Raheem Hanley (born 24 March 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for League One side Northampton Town.

Playing career

Hanley joined Blackburn Rovers from Manchester United following a successful trial in 2010.[1] He initially struggled with injuries, before he played regular under-21 football in the centre of midfield during the 2011–12 season as the Academy reached the final of the FA Youth Cup and the Academy League National Final.[1] He joined Swansea City in January 2014.[2] He signed a new one-year contract with the "Swans" in April 2015.[3]

He signed a two-year contract with Northampton Town in June 2016.[4] Hanley said that manager Rob Page convinced him that Northampton was the best place for him to advance his career, and promised to challenge David Buchanan for a first-team place.[5][6]

He made his senior debut for the "Cobblers" after coming on as a 57th minute substitute for JJ Hooper in a 3–0 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on 30 August, in an EFL Trophy group stage match at Sixfields Stadium.[7]
