Career

Born in Ontario, California, Hanson signed for Portland Timbers 2, the reserve side of Portland Timbers, on March 17, 2017.[1] He made his professional debut for Timbers 2 on April 9, 2017, against Orange County SC. Hanson started the match as Timbers 2 were defeated 2–1.[2] On June 14, Hanson was called up to the Portland Timbers first-team for their U.S. Open Cup match against the Seattle Sounders FC. He started the match and played the whole 90 minutes as Portland were knocked-out 2–1.[3]

On July 22, 2017, due to not having enough outfielders, Hanson signed a short-term contract with the Portland Timbers first-team for their Major League Soccer match against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[4] He came off the bench in that match in the 89th minute as a substitute for Dairon Asprilla as the Timbers won 2–1.[5]

On January 30, 2019, it was announced that Hanson had signed a new contract with Portland Timbers 2.[6] Timbers 2 opted to stop operating following the 2020 season.[7]

Hanson joined National Independent Soccer Association club Albion San Diego in February 2022.[8]

On March 22, 2023, Hanson signed with USL League One side Central Valley Fuego.[9]

On 21 July 2026, Hanson signed for the Richmond Kickers returning to USL League One.[10]
