Chris Hamilton, born on 13 July 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish defensive midfielder whose career has been shaped most clearly by Dunfermline Athletic. Early loan football gave him the sort of senior grounding young midfielders tend to need, but it was at East End Park that he became a regular rather than a prospect being moved about for minutes.
Across four seasons with Dunfermline, Hamilton made 110 league appearances and scored three league goals. That spell carries the weight in his career: steady work, regular responsibility, and enough trust to make him an important first-team player rather than a squad name on the margins.
He later moved on to Ross County, where the 2026-27 season brought a sharper attacking return than might be expected from a player primarily used in the middle of the pitch. He scored four goals in six league appearances, and eight goals in 10 appearances across all competitions, including Scottish Cup and League Cup involvement.
Hamilton’s market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt. His career to this point is best read through Dunfermline first, with Ross County adding a more productive recent chapter.
