Information |
Des Hamilton has had a very busy career to date, playing for 7 different clubs already, and he is still only 26! Hamitlon started his career with Bradford City, where he was a first team regular for 3 seasons, and in 1997 he made a big move to Premiership giants, Newcastle United for an incredible £1,500,000. Unfortunatley for Des, the move never really worked for him, and he found himself being loaned out all over the place to get regular football. After 5 seasons with Newcastle, Hamilton was released by the Magpies and joined Cardiff City on a free transfer. Hamilton made 19 league appearances last season, but never really established himself as an important name at the club, and he will have some work to do this season to get back into regular first team games. |
