Club career

[edit]

Hammond was born in Accra before moving to London aged six.[3] He was a product of the Fulham Academy, joining at under-16 level.[4] He made his debut for Fulham on 19 September 2000 against Chesterfield in the League Cup.[5] Hammond join Bristol Rovers on loan for the start of 2001–02 season in order to get first team experience.[6] In July 2002, Hammond signed a one-year contract with Fulham,[7] before signing a two-year contract with the club in May 2003.[4] At the beginning of the following season, he spent a month on loan at Norwich City,[8] making four league appearances during their 2003–04 season after which they were promoted to the Premier League as First Division champions.[9] He joined RBC Roosendaal on loan in January 2005, where he scored twice in 15 matches playing in the Eredivisie – the top division of Dutch football.[10] He then went on loan before transferring permanently to Leicester City for a fee of £250,000 in September 2005.[11]

Hammond grabbed his first Leicester City goal in a 2–1 home defeat to QPR in September 2005.[12] He was also on target in the 3–2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup third round tie later that season.[13]

On 4 June 2007, Hammond was placed on the transfer list by his then manager Martin Allen.[14] In May 2008, Hammond was one of six players released by the club after his contract was not renewed. Hammond joined Cheltenham Town on 11 November 2008 on a short-term contract until January 2009, linking up with former manager Martin Allen.[3] Hammond left Cheltenham Town by mutual consent in March 2010.[15] He joined Sutton United in October 2010, scoring on his debut against Margate.[16] Hammond would then go on to join Woking later that month, seeing out the season and signing a one-year contract in the summer of 2011.[17] Hammond was released by Woking in May 2012, after having helped Woking to the Conference South title.[18]

He was subsequently jailed for his role in an international money laundering scam.[19]

International career

[edit]

Hammond received his first and only cap for Ghana against Mexico on 1 March 2006 in a pre-2006 FIFA World Cup friendly.[20]
