Adam James Hammill (born 25 January 1988) is an English footballer who plays as a winger for Football League Championship club Barnsley
At international level, Hammill has represented England U21's, though he also qualifies to play for the Republic of Ireland at international level.
Hammill is a product of the Liverpool academy, but failed to make a league appearance for the club at senior level, before leaving to join Championship side Barnsley in 2009. After a successful period at Barnsley, he entered the Premier League when he moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2011, with whom he remained until 2013.
In 2015, Hammill returned to Barnsley on a short term contract. On 14 June, Hammill signed a new 2-year deal with the club.
Hammill was born in Liverpool and was a member of the Youth Academy at Liverpool since he joined the club at age nine. After appearing for the youth and reserves teams, he was promoted to Melwood on a full-time basis. He was part of the Liverpool team that defeated Manchester City in the 2006 FA Youth Cup final. While at the academy, Hammill initially played as an attacking midfielder and striker. But he turned "around 14 or 15", Hammill converted to a winger after being convinced by Academy Manager Steve Heighway, a position both he and Heighway, himself, played today.
