8th tier club Prescot Cables sign an experienced former Premier League and EFL player Adam Hammill ahead of the 2022/23 season.
A product of the Liverpool academy, the 34 year old has played across the UK throughout his career but is perhaps most well known for featuring 164 times for Barnsley over three spells, one of which was on loan.
He also has top flight experience under his belt, making a total of 23 appearances for Wolves between 2011-13.
Despite coming through the Liverpool system, he never made a first team appearance for the Reds, and was instead sent out on loan to the likes of Dunfermline, Southampton, Blackpool and Barnsley.
🚨 INTRODUCING- Adam Hammill🚨
The club are delighted to announce that Ex-Liverpool, Barnsley, Wolves and England U-21 international Adam Hammill has agreed to join Prescot Cables for 2022-2023.

Having enjoyed minutes for England U19s earlier in his career, Hammill made his U21s debut for the Three Lions in 2011, coming on as a 74th minute substitute against Iceland.
The experienced winger spent last season at Derry City, scoring once in 11 appearances, but will now make the move to the Pitching In NPL West Division outfit ahead of the new campaign.
He will be joined at the Pesky Bulls by nephew James Hammill, who can operate across the forward line.
