Kane Hemmings (born 8 April 1992) is an English footballer, who plays for Oxford United. He has previously played for Tamworth, Rangers, Cowdenbeath, Barnsley and Dundee.
Hemmings is the son of former professional footballer Tony Hemmings. Hemmings had trials at Midlands clubs, including Derby County and Birmingham City. At aged 13 he moved from playing in the Burton and District Football League to Tamworth, where he won top goal scorer award in the 2006–07 season.
After three successful years with Tamworth, Hemmings signed a two-year contract with Rangers in 2008. He progressed through the Rangers F.C. Reserve and Youth squads, appearing in three Scottish Youth Cup Finals, and captained the Rangers under-19 team. He signed a new contract with the club in December 2010.
He appeared in the first-team squad as an unused substitute occasionally during the 2010–11 season. Hemmings made his first on-field appearance in the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Malmö FF on 3 August 2011 in which Rangers were beaten 2–1 on aggregate. After the 2011–12 season, Rangers' entered liquidation and a new company, 'The Rangers Football Club Ltd', was formed and as a result the club started in the Scottish Third Division. Although many players consequently departed, Hemmings was among those who stayed, and attended training in late June. Hemmings suffered a knee injury that would rule him out for five months after surgery. On suffering the injury he said he expected to be in the first team once he got back fit.
