Hammond joined Cheltenham Town on 11 November 2008 on a short-term contract until January 2009, linking up with former manager Martin Allen.[3] Hammond left Cheltenham Town by mutual consent in March 2010.[15] He joined Sutton United in October 2010, scoring on his debut against Margate.[16] Hammond would then go on to join Woking later that month, seeing out the season and signing a one-year contract in the summer of 2011.[17] Hammond was released by Woking in May 2012, after having helped Woking to the Conference South title.[18]
