Following this, Hansen was promoted to the reserve.[5] Hansen signed his first professional with the club in July 2007, signing a two-year deal.[6]

After spending a number of years in Liverpool's reserves, Hansen signed a one-month loan contract with Bradford City on 27 July 2011.[7][8][9] He made his senior debut on 6 August 2011.[10] On 21 August, it was announced that Hansen would return to Liverpool at the end of the month-long deal, after the two clubs failed to agree to an extension.[11] During that time he played in all 4 of Bradford City's league games.[12]
