Hammond, a Broadford recruit, was a defender and ruckman.[2] When he started at Essendon in 1925, the club were coming off back to back premierships, but from round six he was a regular fixture in the team.[3] Hammond represented Victoria at the 1927 Melbourne Carnival.[2] He was the club's vice-captain from 1930 to 1932. His career ended in 1932, when he badly injured his groin.[2]
