Fredrik Hammar (born 26 February 2001) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays for Akropolis IF as a central midfielder. He is a product of the IF Brommapojkarna academy and has been capped by Sweden at youth level.
Club career[]
IF Brommapojkarna[]
A midfielder, Hammar began his career in the academy at IF Brommapojkarna and received his maiden call into the first team squad for a Superettan match versus Åtvidabergs FF on 23 September 2017.[3] With the match safe at 3–1, he made his senior debut as an injury time substitute for Jacob Ortmark.[3] It proved to be Hammar's only senior appearance for the club and he departed the Grimsta IP in August 2018.[4]
Akropolis IF[]
On 11 August 2018, Hammar dropped down to Division 1 to join Akropolis IF on an 18-month contract.[4] During the remainder of the 2018 season, he made 13 appearances and scored four goals,[3] before leaving the club in January 2019.[5]
Brentford[]
On 29 January 2019, Hammar moved to England to join the B team at Championship club Brentford on an 18-month contract, with the option for a further year.[5] He scored one of the goals in Brentford B's 4–0 2019 Middlesex Senior Cup Final victory over Harrow Borough and finished the 2018–19 season with 16 appearances and two goals.[6][7] Hammar was a part of the first team squad throughout much of the 2019–20 pre-season and after recovering from injury,[8] he made his debut as a late substitute for Jan Žambůrek in a 1–0 FA Cup third round victory over Stoke City on 4 January 2020.[9] Hammar was promoted into the first team group for the 2019–20 season restart and the club took up the one-year option on his contract in July 2020.[10][11]
Hammar was included in the first team group for the duration of the 2020–21 pre-season.[12][13][14][15] Having failed to make a first team appearance so far during the 2020–21 regular season and with six months left on his contract,[16] Hammar departed Brentford on 25 January 2021.[17] During two years with the B team, Hammar made 51 appearances and scored seven goals.[17]
Return to Akropolis IF[]
On 25 January 2021, Hammar signed a one-year contract with former club Akropolis IF for an undisclosed fee.[17][18][19] He made 30 appearances during a 2021 season which ended in relegation through the relegation play-offs.[3][20]
International career[]
Hammar has been capped by U17 and U19 level.[21] He was a part of Sweden's 2018 UEFA European U17 Championship squad and scored two goals in three appearances at the tournament.[22]
Personal life[]
Hammar grew up in Hässelby and also played floorball and ice hockey before deciding to concentrate on football.[23]
