Career
[edit]Aberdeen
[edit]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
[edit]Hancock signed for Scottish Championship outfit Airdrieonians in August 2023.[10] Scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 win v Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship at Hampden on 30 December 2023.
