Hagan was born in Usworth and worked at the colliery in the town.[4] He served as a private in the Northumberland Fusiliers during the First World War.[5]
After playing local football for Washington Colliery, Hagan signed for Newcastle United in 1919. He moved to Cardiff City in 1923 but did not make his debut for the club until 26 December of that year, playing in a 3–1 victory over Sheffield United. He remained with the club for three seasons but struggled to break into the first team. He eventually joined Tranmere Rovers in 1926, along with Herbie Evans, where he finished his professional career.[1]
Hagan's son Jimmy was also a professional footballer and won a single cap for England in 1948.[1]
