At the end of the 2012–13 season, without making any first team appearances, Hammar was released by Everton on 7 June 2013.[12]

Malmö FF

On 18 June 2013, Hammar signed a six months contract with his youth club Malmö FF, where he will join the club on 1 July 2013.[13] Prior to his move to Malmö FF, Hammar was linked with a move to Italian clubs before joining them in favour of his hometown club instead.[14]

In his first full season at the club, Hammar found his first team opportunities limited, as centre-backs Filip Helander and Erik Johansson were preferred instead. As a result, Hammar regularly played for the reserve side for the rest of the season instead.[17] But following Johansson's injury, Hammar was given a handful of first team appearances throughout July until his return from injury.[18] As the season progressed, Hammar appeared in the first team, playing on three occasions, but was sent-off on the last game of the season, in a 2–1 loss against Åtvidabergs.[19] At the end of the season, he made seven league appearances for the club and participated in three qualifying matches for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League.

Hammar missed two matches, due to special leave and suspension.[32][33]
