The defender played for two years in K-League 1 but couldn't get the desired results there."Hamill is a player who helps in the build-up of the game and who, using his experience, helps the team in difficult defensive moments. He will be an asset to the team," commented ATK Mohun Bagan head coach Juan Ferrando on the new signing.Then he returned down under and signed for the A-League club Western Sydney Wanderers in 2014.
