Chris Hamilton, born on 13 July 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish central defensive midfielder now with Ross County. His current market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His early loan football gave him the sort of practical education young midfielders tend to need: minutes, contact, and fewer hiding places. Those spells mattered, but they are only the opening section of a career shaped far more clearly by Dunfermline Athletic.
At Dunfermline, Hamilton became a regular and a dependable part of the side over four seasons. He made 110 league appearances and scored three league goals, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2023-24, when he scored twice in 32 appearances. That is the spell that gives his career its shape.
He is now at Ross County, where in 2026-27 he has made seven appearances across League One, the League Cup and the Scottish Cup, scoring twice. His form this season has been solid and consistent, which is about the right register for a player whose value has usually been in steady work rather than noise.
Hamilton’s career is built around Dunfermline, with Ross County now the next stage. He remains a practical Scottish midfielder with a clear senior body of work behind him.
