Ben Hamer Joins Huddersfield Town

 

Goalkeeper Ben Hamer has joined Huddersfield Town on a free transfer after his contract with Leicester City Football Club came to an end.

 

- Ben Hamer has signed for Premier League side Huddersfield Town 
- The goalkeeper joins the Terriers on a free transfer after his contract with Leicester City expired 
- Hamer joined City in 2014 and represented the Club 20 times in all competitions

 

The 30-year-old shot stopper joined the Foxes after a three-year spell with Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2014 and went on to make his Premier League debut for the Club in a 1-0 away win at Stoke City.

In total, Hamer made 20 appearances in Leicester City colours and leaves with the best wishes of everybody at the Football Club for his future career with Huddersfield Town.

Can't believe he's bantered his way to potentially three more years of Premier League football. Fair play to him I suppose

[Suzie the Fox]

Will he be their No1 or 2 ? I imagine the latter?

2. Lossl is a beast! 

[urban.spaceman]

Thanks for being here Ben!

[Ian Nacho]

Can't believe he's got a 3 year deal, he's done very well for himself financially, without really playing. His agent must be a miracle worker. Didn't he go on loan to Bristol when they were in League 1 and he was shite there too. 

[Sir Shep]

Good luck to him, might not have set the world on fire but wasn’t as crap as some people make out. No doubt will only go on to play against us and make himself look like Buffon when he does!

[rn9013]

Definitely number 2 at Huddersfield. I work in Huddersfield so have a lot of mates who support Town and Lossl is very highly thought of. 

 

Good luck to him though, I wish him all the best. 

[HighPeakFox]

I would imagine there's some value in having a willing no. 2 goalie. 

[KFS]

Agent has played a blinder

he's gone from watching Denmark's number one to watching Denmark's number 2, apparently he had "lots" of offers so why not go somewhere you'll play?

Clearly happy to be a reserve keeper at a premier league club rather than play regularly lower down. Going to earn a fortune from football without playing many games, I don’t know i think mercenary or fair play for making the most out of what you can.

Money.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Awful keeper, absolutely no confidence in him whenever he's played for us. Would rather we gave one of the kids from the ressies a chance.

[Wolfox]

Farewell sweet banter prince ? 

[Corky]

Never really rated him and couldn't understand how he was ahead of Jakupovic in the pecking order.

 

No great loss.

[UPinCarolina]

He wasn’t nearly as poor as you’d think; I think he’s done well to go to another PL club, though - and wish him the best. 

[StanSP]

barely good enough as a number 2.

 

if any Huddersfield fans read this, just hope that Lossl doesn't get injured/suspended.

[Jimmy]

they let Robert Green go and signed Hamer, they would have been better keeping Green

[CosbehFox]

Terrible keeper for this level. Brought nothing to the pitch.

He's steady but probably not of Premier League quality. From his perspective he's earned a packet and clearly isn't overly interested in achieving anything in his own right. From their perspective they get a player who they need to be in the squad but will barely ever play who is a good influence on the dressing room and isn't a total liability. It's a lukewarm deal all around.

[NewEnglandFox]

He put in some big games in the promotion season. First win back in the league and 7 points from 3 when we were in the doldrums.

[lgfualol]

Does this mean we will sign a keeper or actually give a youth player the 3rd spot? 

 

Seems a nice bloke but whenever he played I kind of felt like we were starting 1 nil down. Weird because he was great for Charlton.

I’m thinking mercenary myself. What will he be on a week at Huddersfield, 10k a week maybe? Half a million pounds a year for the next three years to train a few hours a day but no pressure of match days. Easy money...
