Career

Heart of Midlothian

A former youth player at Stenhousemuir, Hamilton was signed by Heart of Midlothian in March 2009.[1] He was first included in a matchday squad on 15 May 2011, remaining an unused substitute as they concluded the Scottish Premier League season with a 2–1 defeat at Dundee United.[2]

In September 2011, Hamilton returned to Stenhousemuir.[3] He made his debut on 24 September, playing the full 90 minutes as they defeated East Fife 2–1 at Ochilview Park in the Scottish Football League Second Division.[4] A week later he scored his first goal, a header in a 5–2 loss at Airdrie United.[5] On 19 October, his loan was extended until 24 December, the maximum 91 days.[6]

Arbroath

In 2012, Hamilton joined another Second Division team, Arbroath, and made his debut on 18 August in a 4–2 win over Ayr United at Gayfield Park.[7] His first goal for the club came on 9 February 2013, the only goal of an away victory at Albion Rovers.[8] He made 32 league appearances in his first season at Abroath, scoring once more, an equaliser in a 4–2 win at Forfar Athletic on 30 March.[9]

In July 2013, he trialled at English club Notts County, but the transfer collapsed.[10] On 24 August, Hamilton was sent off after half an hour for conceding a penalty in an eventual 2–1 defeat at East Fife.[11] He made 35 league appearances in his second campaign at Arbroath, scoring in a 3–4 home defeat to former club Stenhousemuir on 21 September.[12]

Brechin City

On 22 May 2014, Hamilton joined fellow Scottish League One club Brechin City.[13] He made his debut on 26 July in the first round of the Scottish Challenge Cup, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 win at Cowdenbeath.[14] On 23 August, he scored his first goal for the club, heading the opening goal of a 2–2 draw away to Stranraer,[15] and followed this up on 27 September with a goal in a 3–1 loss at Forfar.[16] He was sent off on 11 November for two bookings in a 2–1 win over Stirling Albion at Glebe Park.[17]

On 29 November, Hamilton headed the opening goal away to Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup fourth round, but it ended in a 1–1 draw;[18] ten days later he scored again in the replay, a 4–2 victory.[19] He was sent off for a second time on 14 March 2015 in a 3–0 loss at Peterhead;[20] ten days later in the reverse fixture, he scored to start a comeback for a 2–2 draw.[21] Hamilton played 32 League One games in his only season at Brechin, and also took part with them in the play-offs for promotion to the Scottish Championship, where they lost 2–1 on aggregate to Alloa Athletic in the semi-finals.[22]

Alloa Athletic

On 21 May 2015, Hamilton became Alloa's first signing after securing their Championship status.[23] He made his debut on 25 July, playing the full 90 minutes as they won 1–0 at Highland League team Brora Rangers in the first round of the Challenge Cup.[24] On 8 August he played his first game in a professional league, a 3–1 loss away to Queen of the South.[25]

He scored his first professional goal on 19 September, a last-minute equaliser against Rangers at Indodrill Stadium,[26] and added a second on 9 February 2016 to start a comeback to earn a 2–2 home draw against Greenock Morton.[27] However, Alloa were relegated at the end of the season.

Personal life

Hamilton's younger brother Jack also became a footballer. A goalkeeper, he went from Stenhousemuir's academy to Hearts at the same time.[1]
