In January 2018, Ham completed a loan move to Japan to join J2 League team FC Gifu.[6][7][8] He belatedly made his first appearance on 23 September versus Tokyo Verdy.[1] He departed the club on 23 November.[9] Upon returning to Argentinos Juniors, Ham suffered another serious injury after rupturing his cruciate knee ligaments in a reserve match with Vélez Sarsfield.[10] After recovering, Ham left on loan in February 2020 to Primera B Nacional's Santamarina.[11] He debuted on 15 February versus Deportivo Riestra.[1]
