After school, Hamman moved to Pretoria to join the Blue Bulls academy, and played for them at Under-19 level in 2016 and Under-21 level in 2017, as well as representing local university side UP Tuks in the Varsity Cup competition.

He made his first class debut in the 2018 Rugby Challenge, coming on as a replacement in their opening match of the season against the Pumas,[2] and made his first start a week later against Namibian side the Welwitschias.[3] In July 2018, he was included in the Bulls squad for their final match of the 2018 Super Rugby season against trans-Jukskei rivals the Lions,[4] and he made his Super Rugby debut by coming on as a second half replacement.[5]
