Dean John Hammond (born 7 March 1983 in Hastings) is an English football player who plays for Sheffield United on loan from Leicester City. He previously played in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion, Leyton Orient, Colchester United and Southampton.[2]

Football career

Brighton & Hove Albion

During the early stages of his career at Brighton & Hove Albion, Hammond had loan spells at lower league teams twice in 2003, first to Aldershot Town during September, and secondly to Leyton Orient in October. He was given a six-month ultimatum at the start of the 2004–05 season by then manager Mark McGhee,[citation needed] Hammond impressed and was awarded a new deal that summer.

At the beginning of the 2005–06 season, he was handed the vacant number 11 shirt at the club, and became a first-team regular, either playing on the left hand side of midfield or in his preferred natural position of central midfield. In the 2006–07 season, he was handed the captain's armband at the club after injuries to both Richard Carpenter and Charlie Oatway. At the end of January 2007, Carpenter was released by Brighton, so Hammond became the new official club captain.

At the start of the 2007–08 season, Hammond had one-year remaining on his contact at the Withdean, manager Dean Wilkins was keen to offer Hammond a new deal, with the club and representatives for the player beginning talks in October 2007. During January 2008, it was revealed that Hammond would only sign a new deal for the club if they showed the ambition of returning to the Championship.[3] When the £300,000 capture of striker Glenn Murray from Rochdale failed to change Hammond's mind, the club placed him on the transfer list with little more than a week of the transfer window remaining.[4]

Colchester United

On 30 January 2008, Brighton accepted an offer of £250,000 plus add-ons for the player. Hammond completed the deal the following day, moving to Colchester United.[5] Hammond made 63 appearances during his time with The U's, scoring 5 times in all competitions before his move to St. Mary's.

Southampton

On 19 August 2009, Hammond signed a three-year contract with Southampton for an undisclosed fee. He scored his first goal against Oldham Athletic, and made the scoresheet again a week later, against Milton Keynes Dons. On 5 March 2011, he scored the second goal with a drive from the edge of the area against former club Colchester United to complete a 2–0 away win, and one week later scored an important second goal against Bournemouth in a 3–1 away win.

He scored the first Southampton goal of the 2011–12 season, a 25-yard effort in a 3–1 victory over Leeds United, in their first game back in the Championship for two years. On 29 April 2012, Hammond gained promotion with Southampton to the Premier League.

On 31 August 2012, Hammond re-joined his former club Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.[6][7]

Leicester City

On 30 August 2013, Hammond joined Leicester City for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-year deal.[8] Hammond scored his first goal for Leicester with a late, headed equaliser against Wigan Athletic on 1 April 2014, helping the Foxes extend their lead at the top of the Sky Bet Championship to seven points.[9] Hammond played 29 times as Leicester won the Championship en route to promotion to the Premier League.

Hammond made his Premier League debut as a substitute for the injured Danny Drinkwater in the opening day 2–2 draw with Everton and cemented his place with impressive performances against Chelsea, Arsenal and Stoke City.[citation needed]

On 2 July 2015 Hammond signed a one-year contract extension until the summer of 2016.[10]

Sheffield United (loan)

On 20 October, Hammond joined Sheffield United on loan until the end of January,[11] rejoining his former manager from Southampton, Nigel Adkins. He made his debut the same day in a 3–0 victory over Fleetwood Town.[12]
