Obvious talent, but not clinical enough at a high level to be a consistent first choice attacker. Players like this, given enough minutes, can eventually figure out a risk-level and strategy that works for their game but J Hams isn't going to get the chances week in week out.

Shame cause he's like a black Chris Pine.

Really? My thoughts on him was that he was a great finisher. It is everything else that could be better. He doesn't press well, doesn't hold up that well, etc. He's not that great at the little things, but he tends to finish his chances pretty well. He doesn't create his own chances either.

I still have a soft spot for him. He didn't turn out as great as I thought he might a few years ago, but he's still a useful and underrated player imo.

Looks like he may become a free agent, Columbus may negotiate.   https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/10/21/mensah-santos-trapp-return-columbus-crew-announce-roster-decisions      "The Crew added that they remain in negotiations with Harrison Afful, who is currently out of contract, while stating that decisions regarding defender Connor Maloney and forward Jordan Hamilton, as well as out-of-contract forward Romario Williams, "will be decided in November when roster decisions are due."

It might be an either or situation, Williams or Hamilton.  Too bad he didnt get some more minutes to show something at Columbus.

Nice to see him continue in MLS with Columbus. He is still only 23 years old, so the best years of his career are ahead of him. I am excited to see what he can do with a full year in Ohio.

I'm actually a bit surprised they resigned him because he barely played after the trade, except for the last game against TFC. But Bez's comments in the quote almost come across as a veiled mild criticism of the coach for a lack of playing time of the players he traded for. Anyway, good for Jordan, I hope he does well against everyone except TFC.

looks like romario williams is gone so will be interesting to see if he competes for backup minutes only with jj or they bring in another striker

I wouldn’t be mad if he scores a hatty against us as a fuck you to Vanney

Columbus has released JJ Williams. Jordan is now one of three strikers on the Crew roster.

Columbus Crew reserve Jordan Hamilton wins MLS Cup as they defeat Seattle Sounders in the final..he wasnt in the 20 player squad..congrats to him

 

[Bdog 903]

No offence but does he even get recognized as a winner, similar to EPL players who don’t play enough games?

Either way I’m happy to see Seattle lose!

Sergio Camargo has a 2017 MLS Cup ring even though he never played a single minute for TFC.

Good for him, more money and they’ve got big ambitions. Could lead to a move back to MLS.

Maybe they sign AJH too and use them as a strike tandem up front

I do wonder why not. AJH said he had offers elsewhere, I’d wonder why a CDN team didn’t offer Hamilton a spot for depth or even another mls team. However the pay in USL may have been better.

Hes sick of being a backup

“I’m excited to come to Indy Eleven and want to thank Martin Rennie and Ersal Ozdemir for the opportunity. Martin and I have been in contact over the years and I feel he is the right coach for me, and now is the time in my career to be relied upon,”

[Aird25 1,495]

Martin Rennie - there's a name I haven't heard in a while

[Bison44 6,255]

Scored a brace in exhibition action against a teenage Whitecaps squad.  Indy picked up a scottish stiker as well in off season, but hopefully Hamilton get plenty of chances.  He is in the new puma jersey reveal for indy with a huge scarbough tatto!!  Look for Haworth as well.

 

[Dominic94 1,211]

worth checking out but Hamilton has high praise for the talent in that area but took big shots at the old management... for not playing the kids. On a few occasions he’s praised current management for backing the kids and playing them. 
 

makes you wonder how good some guys would have turned out if TFC had of taken youth development seriously.

he goes on to essentially back Rollins who once said Roma was impressed with the raw talent in the area, saying that Ontario teams always competed world wide talent wise. That’s a bold statement.
