James Charles Hamon (born 1 July 1995) is a Guernsey-born footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for National League South club Torquay United. He has previously played in the Football League for Exeter City.

Career

[edit]

Born in Guernsey, Hamon was fast-tracked from Guernsey FA's youth setup to St. Martins, where he made his first-team debuts in 2011, aged only 16; he subsequently moved to Guernsey in the summer, but was mainly a backup to veteran Chris Tardif.[4] He previously had trials at Southampton.[5]

Hamon was invited to a trial at Exeter City in April 2013,[6] signing a deal with the club in September, being assigned number 33. He renewed his link with the Grecians on 30 June 2014.[7]

Hamon played his first match as a professional on 7 October, starting in a 1–3 away loss against Coventry City, for the season's Football League Trophy. He made his League Two debut on 22 November, starting in a 3–2 home win against Shrewsbury Town.[8] He contested the starting goalkeeper place with fellow 19-year-old Christy Pym over the season,[9] finishing with 21 appearances to the latter's 25.

Before the 2015–16 season, Exeter manager Paul Tisdale signed Austrian goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik, who became the regular first-choice goalkeeper at the expense of both Hamon and Pym.[10] On 25 February 2016, Hamon was loaned to Hayes & Yeading United of the National League South for a month.[11] It was later extended for the rest of the season.[12]

Pym later moved back into contention, and made the starting position his own after Olejnik's release in June 2017.[13] On 5 January 2018, Hamon joined Gloucester City, also of the sixth tier, on a three-month loan.[14] He was released by Exeter at the end of the 2018–19 season.[15]

On 30 July 2019, he signed a 12-month contract with Truro City.[16]

On 21 January 2021, Hamon joined National League side Torquay United on a one-month loan deal.[17] On 22 February 2021, the loan was extended for a further month.[18]

On 4 June 2024, Hamon joined Torquay United on a one-year contract.[19]
