Early life
Born in Adare, County Limerick, Hannon comes from a family with a strong tradition in hurling. His granduncle Pat Stakelum captained Tipperary to the All-Ireland title in 1949, the first of a "three-in-a-row" sequence of All-Irelands for Tipperary.
Hannon was educated at Scoil Naomh Íosaf before later attending Ardscoil Rís. It was here that he first played under the guidance of teacher and inter-county hurler Niall Moran. He was a member of the Ardscoil Rís team that won the Harty Cup title in 2010 following a three-game series against reigning All-Ireland champions Thurles CBS. He later lined out in the All-Ireland final against St. Kieran's College, in which Ardscoil Rís were beaten by 2-11 to 2-8.
In 2011, Hannon was joint-captain of the Ardscoil Rís team that retained the Harty Cup title following a defeat of Charleville CBS. The subsequent All-Ireland final saw St. Kieran's take on Hannon's side for the second year in succession, however, Ardscoil Rís were once again defeated on a score line of 2-10 to 1-11.
Club
Hannon plays his club hurling with the Adare club in Limerick. By 2009 Hannon was drafted into the Adare senior team. That year he won a senior club championship title followinga 1-17 to 0-3 win over of Na Piarsaigh.
Inter-county
Hannon first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Limerick minor team in 2010.
After playing at colleges and underage levels, Hannon was called up to the senior team in 2011 and made his debut in the National Hurling League. Limerick defeated Clare by 4-12 to 2-13 in the Division 2 final, giving Hannon his first success in the senior grade. He later made his championship debut against Wexford, scoring nine points in a 1-21 to 2-13 win.
