Jack Hamilton (born 22 March 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer, who plays for Dundee as a goalkeeper.[1] He has previously played for Heart of Midlothian and Forfar Athletic, East Fife and Stenhousemuir on loan.

Club career

Early career

Hamilton attended both Nethermains Primary School[2] and Denny High School[3] and was a youth player for local side Stenhousemuir from 12 years-old. In 2009, aged 14 he joined Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) youth team,[4] along with his brother Colin Hamilton.[5][6]

Heart of Midlothian

A member of Hearts under-19 squad, in September 2011, Hamilton was promoted to the first team due to injury to Marián Kello. He was named as a substitute but did not make an appearance.[7] On 30 November 2012, he moved to Forfar Athletic on a one-month loan,[8] which was then extended by a further month.[9] He went out on loan again the following season, signing for East Fife in March 2014.[10]

At the start of the 2014–15 season Hamilton joined Stenhousemuir on loan.[11] Following injuries to Neil Alexander, Scott Gallacher and Robbie Brown, he was recalled from his loan[12] and made his first team debut on 17 August 2014,[13] playing from the start in a 2–1 win over Edinburgh derby rivals Hibernian.[14]

In May 2016, Hamilton signed a contract extension, keeping him at Hearts until May 2019.[15] Hamilton, affectionately nicknamed "flapjack" by the Jambo faithful, played regularly for Hearts during the 2016/17 season, but lost his place to Jon McLaughlin in the following season.[16] Hearts transferred Hamilton to Dundee for an undisclosed fee in May 2018, this was a direct result of Hamilton suffering abuse from a local delivery driver in Edinburgh.[16]

Dundee

Hamilton signed a three-year contract with Dundee in May 2018. Hamilton enraged boss Neil McCann in the first league game of the 2018/19 season when he tried to play out from the back but ended up falling over the ball and conceding the winning goal. Dundee were relegated that year as a direct result of Hamilton's blunders. He now works with the delivery driver who abused him. [17]

International career

Hamilton has represented Scotland at under-15,[18] under-16,[19] under-17,[20][21] under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels.

On 20 May 2016, Hamilton received his first call-up to the Scotland national football team for their friendlies against Italy and France.[22]
