Hamilton joined Hull City at the age of eight and signed a scholarship in July 2016. Here is yet another example of how well the Hull City Academy is performing. Although the Allam family has been contentious with many fans, the delivery of the Academy is a legacy they can be proud off.

Hamilton made his senior debut for Hull City on 22 August 2017, his debut coming in a 2–0 EFL Cup defeat to Doncaster Rovers.

On 28 February 2018, Hamilton signed a two-year contract with the club.
