Kirsty Hanson is a Scotland international forward who plays for Tottenham Hotspur. Comfortable playing across the front line, she has established herself as a regular at both club and international level.

Kirsty began her career in the youth systems of Manchester United and Liverpool before making her senior debut with Sheffield FC. She later joined Doncaster Rovers Belles, where her performances earned a return to Manchester United following the launch of their senior women's team in 2018. During her time at United, she helped the club secure promotion to the Women's Super League and became an important member of the squad.

After gaining further top-flight experience with Aston Villa, initially on loan before making the move permanent, Kirsty joined Tottenham Hotspur in June 2026 following the most prolific goalscoring season of her career. Across the 2025/26 Women's Super League season she scored 12 goals, finishing among the league’s leading scorers.

Internationally, Kirsty has represented Scotland from youth level through to the senior team. She earned her first senior call-up in 2019 and has since become a regular for her country, featuring in major qualifying campaigns.

Away from football, Kirsty enjoys spending time with friends and family, long walks in the countryside with her dog Hugo and, of course, a good cup of coffee.
