Career

Livingston

Hamilton started his career with Livingston and spent time on loan at Penicuik Athletic,[2][3] and Berwick Rangers in 2018.[4] During the January 2019 transfer window, Hamilton was then moved out on loan to Alloa Athletic.[5]

On 1 July 2019, Hamilton was sent out to Queen of the South on a season long loan.[6] In March 2020 he signed a new contract with Livingson.[7] In September 2020 he moved on loan to East Fife.[8] After scoring seven goals from nine league games for the Fifers, Hamilton was named SPFL League 1 Player of the Month for December.[9] He was recalled by his parent club Livingston on 8 January 2021.[10] On 29 January, he headed out on loan once again, this time joining Scottish Championship side Arbroath[11] where he scored eight goals in fourteen games[12] and earned Scottish Championship Player of the Month for April.[13] Thus, he collected two SPFL Player of the Month awards on two different teams for the 2020–2021 season.[13]

In January 2022, Hamilton re-joined Arbroath on loan for the remainder for the 2021–22 season,[14] where he scored ten goals in twenty appearances.[12] He was twice named SPFL Team of the Week.[15][16] Between his two loan spells, he scored eighteen goals in thirty four games for Arbroath.[12]

On 1 July 2022, Hamilton signed a new two-year deal at Livingston.[17]

On 20 July 2022, Hamilton signed for Hartlepool United on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal for the 2023–24 season.[18][19][20] He was named in the League Two Team of the Week for back to back weeks on 31 December 2022,[21] and 3 January 2023.[22]

Raith Rovers

On 29 May 2023, Hamilton moved to Raith Rovers for a nominal transfer fee.[23][24]
