Huddersfield Town chairman Dean Hoyle: Adam Hammill’s assault on paramedics was ‘out of character’

HUDDERSFIELD TOWN chairman Dean Hoyle has described Adam Hammill’s actions as ‘out of character’.

Mr Hoyle said winger Hammill was ‘very remorseful’ for the attack outside a bar in Liverpool city centre, on October 7.

Hammill, who is on loan at Town from Wolverhampton Wanderers , yesterday pleaded guilty to assaulting two female paramedics at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court. He will be sentenced next Tuesday.

Mr Hoyle said Town had taken a tough stance against Hammill and had fined him.

Hoyle said: “He’s very remorseful and upset with himself. It’s out of character.

He added: “But we’re taking a tough stance.

“Everyone makes mistakes. I’m not trying to defend his actions.”

Asked what further action the club would take against Hammill, Hoyle said: “It’s a really tough one. It’s not helping if you send him back but people are saying: ‘send him back’.

“But at the same time it’s about being remorseful. He’s been in contact with the paramedics.”
