Saul Hamer (born 13 February 1996) is an English footballer who is trialling as a striker for Kendal Town. Having played youth football for Blackburn Rovers and Sunday League sides, Hamer was signed on a two year scholarship contract by Bolton Wanderers in 2012. As one of the most promising youth prospects, his incredible talent was withheld from the world after a terrible leg break. He is currently training with Kendal Town.

Club career
Having been born in Preston, Hamer (naturally a Manchester United supporter...), turned his back on the lily whites and decided to play for Blackburn Rovers as a primary school child. He was released at the age of 13 after a management reshuffle, this was a decision that Rovers would live to regret. Having always had natural talent, Hamer has never grown out of the "I want to play up front" mind-set that most children have. Touting himself as a slow Emile Heskey, the contract offers didn't exactly come flowing after being released by Rovers.

Hamer then moved into Sunday League football with Longridge Juniors whilst he finished a sparkling school career. He scored 78 goals in one season with the Bolton Brazilian Soccer School, which begged the question, who was defending? It was during this flukey season that Hamer was picked up by Bolton Wanderers. He signed a two year scholarship contract at the age of 16. It was during this time that Hamer fashioned the now world renowned, Hamerfro. A mix of short back and sides and his unique luscious curls. Having played 10 games in his first season for Bolton, the majority as substitute, his impact was duly noticed. However before the Summer 2013, he broke his leg which according to the manager was a "Blow for the lad".

Although set back by his injury, he achieved more starts in his second season and scored a goal against a Manchester United side that included some players you might have heard of (even if it was a tap in). Known as the poor mans Santi Cazorla, Hamer can sort of use both feet. At the end of the 2013/14 season, Hamer was unbelievably released by Bolton. He then took a one year sabbatical from football in order to concentrate on gaining a job at Nandos and gaining entry to the infamous Boys Club (BC!). With this quest completed during Summer 2015, he decided to turn his gaze back to football and has begun training with the mighty Kendal Town and is hoping for a contract offer in the coming months.
