Career

Aberdeen

Originally starting his career with Fulham, where he spent eight years, Hancock also had spells with Oxford United and Woking, before moving to Scotland to join Aberdeen in 2020.[2] Following his arrival, he quickly progressed through the youth ranks and within the space of a year he was in and around the first-team squad, featuring as an unused substitute in their Scottish Premiership fixture with Heart of Midlothian.[3]

Six months later, Hancock signed a new one-year contract extension, tying him to the club until May 2023. Following this, he was loaned to Scottish League Two side Stirling Albion for the remainder of the season.[4] He went onto feature fourteen times in all competitions.[1]

Ahead of the 2022–23 campaign, Hancock was assigned the number 26 jersey.[5] On 10 July 2022, he made his first-team debut starting in a 2–0 victory over Peterhead in the Scottish League Cup. However he was substituted after 35 minutes after sustaining an injury.[6] On 28 July 2022, he featured four times for Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup and was sent out on loan to Arbroath for the remainder of the season.[7] After making 13 appearances for Arbroath, Hancock returned to Aberdeen after sustaining a serious knee injury.[8] He left the club in 2023.[9]

Airdrieonians

Hancock signed for Scottish Championship outfit Airdrieonians in August 2023.[10]
