[12] By October 2023 he was still unavailable, having had a number of injury setbacks. [13] He completed his first 90-minute, senior level match in two years in April 2024 as Hamilton defeated Alloa Athletic 1–0 in Scottish League One. [14]

Hamilton was released by Hamilton at the end of the 2023–24 season. [15]

Following his release from Hamilton, he joined Ayr United on a short-term contract until January 2025 and was immediately loaned to Scottish Lowland Football League side East Kilbride.
