Career

Hammond began his career with Salemi Aces Football Club.[1] He studied at Accra Academy Secondary School and played for the Saint Stars in 2001.[2] In 2002, at the age of 17, he joined the primavera team Brescia Calcio[3] and subsequently played for A.S. Cittadella, to which he was loaned to, in 2003.[4] He stayed at A.S. Cittadella for half a year and returned to Brescia Calcio in December 2003. In January 2004 his contract with Brescia Calcio expired and he then moved to Serie D club AC Cologna Veneta Calcio.[5] During his three years stint at AC Cologna Veneta, he played in 76 matches and scored 19 goals.[6] His contract with the team expired in the summer of 2007 and he signed for US Sanremes, where he played in only five games. He left the club in November 2007 to sign for Ghana Premier League club Liberty Professionals FC.[7] On 11 September 2008, Hammond left Liberty Professionals FC to sign for the I-League club Mumbai FC. On 20 September 2009 Kingfisher East Bengal signed[8] the striker from Mumbai FC.[9]

In the winter break of the 2010–11 season, Hammond moved back to Europe and signed with FK Metalac Gornji Milanovac and marked his debut in the Serbian SuperLiga on 2 April 2011 as a substitute in the 0–1 defeat against FK Vojvodina.[10][11]

Honours
East Bengal
gollark: I was looking at it, but since I think the backend is closed source I currently just operate a somewhat accursed Wireguard network with routing.
gollark: I feel mostly safe due to having been (partly, at least) vaccinated and being young enough to not be at significant risk anyway.
gollark: Governments have also recently rather liked doing/trying to do plausibly-deniable things which make end to end encryption impractical for people, so the objection of not being able to see or filter the content would probably not work very well.
gollark: Consider the difficulty of designing a working car versus trying to patch together a bad car after it's done while it's driving and incapable of stopping without exploding.
gollark: And fix them in the design.
