Chris Hamilton

Chris Hamilton of Ross County was born in Kelty, Scotland on 13 July 2001 (age 25).

Chris Hamilton, born on 13 July 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish defensive midfielder with Ross County. His current market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His early loan spells gave him the sort of senior football that tends to matter more than academy polish, but his career has been shaped far more clearly by Dunfermline Athletic. Across four seasons there, Hamilton made 110 league appearances and scored three league goals, becoming a regular presence rather than a passing name on the team-sheet.

He is now at Ross County, where the 2026-27 season has brought his most productive league return: four goals in eight League One appearances. Across all competitions for County this season, he has made 12 appearances and scored eight goals, with his form described as strong and consistent.

Hamilton’s career to date is a straightforward one: developed through early loans, established properly at Dunfermline, and now contributing at Ross County with a sharper scoring return than his role would normally suggest.
