Biography
John Joe Doherty first invited Hanlon, a forward, to join the Donegal senior squad in 2009.{{cite news|first=Chris|last=McNulty|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/kfojojsncwoj/rss2/|title=McGuinness gives Hanlon the boot from Donegal squad|work=Irish Examiner|date=27 May 2011|accessdate=27 May 2011|archive-date=5 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170405171545/http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/kfojojsncwoj/rss2/|url-status=dead}} That year he replaced Colm McFadden on McFadden's 100th championship appearance, which led to some controversy.{{cite news|first=Alan|last=Foley|url=http://www.donegaldemocrat.ie/sport/local-sport/forward-thinking-mcfadden-1-4247035|title=Forward thinking McFadden|work=Donegal Democrat|date=11 September 2012|accessdate=11 September 2012}} Later that year he made a substitute appearance in the championship defeat to Cork at Croke Park, scoring a point.{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/football/2009/0802/252778-cork_donegal/|title=Cork 1–27 Donegal 2–10|publisher=RTÉ Sport|date=2 August 2009|accessdate=2 August 2009}}
Hanlon broke into the senior Donegal team during the 2011 National Football League and started the division 2 final against Laois. Donegal recorded victory, despite Adrian being sent off in the second half.{{cite news|url=http://ulster.gaa.ie/2011/04/donegal-win-division-2-title/|title=Donegal win Division 2 Title|publisher=Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Uladh|date=25 April 2011|accessdate=25 April 2011}}{{cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2011/0422/279170-donegal_laois_league/|title=Donegal 2–11 Laois 0–16|publisher=RTÉ Sport|date=24 April 2011|accessdate=24 April 2011}} He also played for Donegal in that year's championship opener against Antrim.{{cite news|url=http://www.donegaldemocrat.ie/sport/local-sport/new-faces-for-donegal-in-mckenna-cup-1-3341035|title=New faces for Donegal in McKenna Cup|work=Donegal Democrat|date=15 December 2011|accessdate=15 December 2011}} Later dropped over a breach of discipline, Hanlon has since been included in senior Donegal squads again and was an unused substitute in the 2012 All Ireland victory over Mayo.
