After a year playing indoor soccer with the New Jersey Ironmen in 2008, Hannigan returned to Miami in April, 2009, and played 23 games for the team in the USL First Division before being released at the end of the season.
After a year out of the game in 2010, Hannigan signed to play with the Ocean City Nor'easters in the USL Premier Development League in 2011.[3]
On November 19, 2011, the Rochester Lancers announced they have signed Hannigan to their squad.[4] He was released for disciplinary reasons in January 2014.[5]
