He studied the Korean language for 18 months before becoming a transfer student at Korea University in 2002 (during the FIFA World Cup).[3]

In October 2013 Hammington married Korean Jung Yumi.[4] They had two wedding ceremonies, a traditional Korean one in Korea and another in his home country, Australia, at the Melbourne Zoo.[5]
