Chris Hamilton, born on 13 July 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish defensive midfielder now with Ross County. His career, though, has been shaped far more by Dunfermline Athletic than by any other stop along the way.
Hamilton’s early development included loan football, the sort of practical schooling that tends to matter more than any neat academy summary. It helped carry him towards a proper first-team role at Dunfermline, where he became a regular rather than a passing name.
Across four seasons at East End Park, he made 110 league appearances and scored three league goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2023-24, with two goals in 32 appearances, a useful return for a player whose main work sits in the less glamorous parts of midfield.
He is now at Ross County, where he has made three Scottish Cup appearances in 2026-27. His current market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt. Hamilton’s career to this point is a straightforward one: early loan experience, a substantial Dunfermline spell, and a fresh stage in Dingwall.
