Rochdale
Tanser spent time in the youth teams at Blackpool and Burnley, before coming through the Rochdale Academy. He made his professional debut for the "Dale" after coming on as a 70th-mintue substitute for D'Arcy O'Connor in a 1–0 victory over Plymouth Argyle at Spotland Stadium on 27 April 2013. This was his only appearance of the 2012–13 season and he did not feature in the 2013–14 campaign as Rochdale secured promotion out of League Two. He broke into the first team at the start of the 2014–15 season, and signed a two-year contract extension in October 2014. Speaking the following month, manager Keith Hill said that Tanser was good enough to win England youth caps but that "politics in football, the bureaucracy and the propaganda" prevented lower league players from receiving a call-up. Tanser scored his first goal in senior football on 17 January 2015, opening the scoring with a volley as Rochdale recorded a 4–1 home victory over Crawley Town. He ended the season with 30 League One appearances to his name.
He scored his second career goal on his first appearance of the 2015–16 season, as Rochdale beat Chesterfield 2–1 in the Football League Trophy on 6 October. He maintained a first team place and played ten further games before falling out of the first team picture completely; his appearance against Bury on 6 December proved to be his last of the season. He played just five league games in the first half of the 2016–17 campaign and his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in January 2017 to allow him to find first team football elsewhere.
Port Vale
Tanser signed a contract with League One rivals Port Vale on 27 January 2017 to run until the end of the 2016–17 season. Tanser said that the move "was a bit of a shock actually... one minute I am at Rochdale then the next minute I am signing for Port Vale. It is a bit mad really but that is the way that football is." He was released by manager Michael Brown following the club's relegation in May 2017.
St Johnstone
Tanser signed a one-year contract with Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone in June 2017.
