Finian Hanley (born 1985) is a Gaelic footballer from Galway.[1] He is currently a member of the Galway Football Panel. He plays in the full-back position.

Galway

In 2005, Hanley was a member of Galway's Under-21 All-Ireland winning team, winning the final against Down with inspired performances from Michael Meehan, Barry Cullinane and club team-mate Seán Armstrong.

After being a key figure in Galway's successful Minor and Under-21 teams of recent years, Hanley made his Senior debut against Mayo in the 2005 Connacht SFC Final. He has since made the full-back position his own, winning two Connacht titles, in 2005 and 2008.

Hanley was a part of Salthill-Knocknacarra's triumphant All-Ireland Club Championship winning side in 2006. They defeated St. Galls of Antrim in the final by 0-07 to 0-06. Hanley was named Man Of The Match for his performance, repelling several of the Antrim side's attacks.

International Rules

In 2008 he represented his county against Australia in Australia in the International Rules Series in which they won.

In 2010 he was vice captain of the Irish team in the International Rules Series in Ireland in which they lost out narrowly.

In 2011 he was chosen to represent his country once more [2]
