Hanley was a right-handed lower-order batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler. His single Test was the third match of the 1948–49 England tour series and he was the third spin bowler alongside Tufty Mann and Athol Rowan, with Rowan also bowling off-spin. He took just one wicket in the game and was dropped for the next match, being replaced by leg-spinner Fish Markham.[2]

His nephew, Rupert Hanley, also played first-class cricket.
