Club career

Feyenoord

Born in Brazil, Hamer moved to the Netherlands while still a child. As a youth player he was rejected by ADO Den Haag before joining Feyenoord's youth academy.[2] He progressed well at Feyenoord, and earned caps for both the Netherlands U18 and U20 sides.[3] Hamer made his professional debut on 2 April 2017 in an Eredivisie match against Ajax, coming on as an 89th minute substitute in a 2–1 loss.[4] Three days later, on 5 April 2017, he would make his second and what would prove to be last appearance for Feyenoord in an 8–0 win against Go Ahead Eagles.[5]

Loan to Dordrecht

On 7 August 2017 Eerste Divisie club FC Dordrecht announced the signing of Hamer on a one-year loan deal.[6] He made 39 appearances in all competitions for Dordrecht as they missed out on promotion after qualifying for the playoffs.[7][8]

PEC Zwolle

After the conclusion of his loan at Dordrecht, Hamer joined PEC Zwolle from Feyenoord on 2 May 2018.[9] He signed a three-year contract with the club.[10] Hamer made his debut for Zwolle on the opening day of the season, playing 90 minutes in a 3–2 loss against SC Heerenveen.[11] He would go on to make 23 appearances in 2018–19 as Zwolle finished 13th in the Eredivisie.[12][13] On 11 August 2019 Hamer scored his first goal for the club, netting with a direct free-kick in a 3–1 loss to FC Utrecht.[14] His second season with Zwolle was cut short after the Dutch FA cancelled the remainder of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] Hamer finished the season having made 25 appearances and scored 4 goals.[16]

Coventry City

On 3 July 2020, English club Coventry City completed the signing of Hamer for a fee exceeding £1m.[17][18] He made his debut in a 1-0 EFL Cup victory against MK Dons on 5 September 2020.[19] In his fifth appearance for the club, a 3–1 loss against Bournemouth, he was shown a red card for violent conduct which resulted in a three match suspension.[20] Hamer returned from suspension on 27 October 2020 against Middlesbrough and three days later scored his first goal for Coventry in a 3–2 win over Reading.[21] [22]
