Lamont who was born in Paisley, Scotland started his career as part of St Mirren's under-19 squad.[1] He made senior debut on 26 February 2011 as a substitute for Craig Dargo in 2–0 defeat against Kilmarnock in a Scottish Premier League fixture.[2] Soon after his debut he was selected for a Scotland Under-19 squad.[3] Lamont was sent on loan to Dumbarton on the opening day of 2012 winter transfer window to gain more first team experience following an ankle injury he had sustained from the previous season.[4] Having returned from his loan spell with Dumbarton he signed a new contract with St Mirren keeping him at the club until January 2013, before being loaned out again.[5] He returned from his loan on 3 January 2013 and was subsequently released by his parent club.[6]

Dumbarton

On 1 January 2012, he joined Scottish Second Division side Dumbarton until the end of the 2011–12 season.[7] He made his debut for Dumbarton the following day in 3–2 victory against Arbroath.[8] Lamont suffered an achilles injury in early March against Cowdenbeath.[9] Despite manager Alan Adamson ruling him for rest of the season, he returned for the Scottish First Division play-off final first leg.[10][11] He played again in the second leg, with Dumbarton securing promotion 6–2 on aggregate.[12] Lamont rejoined the now First Division side, on loan at the start of the 2012–13 season.[13] His loan expired in January and he returned to St Mirren whom released him.[6][14] After becoming a free agent he rejoined Dumbarton on a permanent basis becoming Ian Murray's third signing as manager.[15] Lamont would continue to have injury struggles. Having procured a seventh-place finish with Dumbarton in First Division,[16] Lamont was released and later retired.[17]
