Joe achieved the distinction of becoming Portsmouth FC’s youngest player in post-war history when he played against Fulham at Fratton Park a week before he received his GCSE results.
He sustained an ACL injury in training and and never appeared for Pompey again. Joe then played for non-league Bognor Regis Town before hanging up his boots in disillusionment when he was 20.
Hanc rediscovered his enthusiasm for football when he joined Newport in the 2021/22 season, making 57 appearances over two seasons. He transferred to Cowes Sports in the summer of 2023 and played 44 times for them before returning to Newport in 2025.
