Club career

Hamid entered the academy of Queens Park Rangers at age 11.[1] He participated as a mentor in a club initiative to support Asian inclusion at QPR.[2] He worked his way into a regular starting role with the under-18 side in 2022 while making his debut for the reserve team the following season.[3]

In February 2023 Hamid was loaned out to Kingstonian F.C. of the Isthmian League Premier Division on a 1-month deal which would see the player maintain QPR eligibility.[4][5][6] He was expected to make his debut for the club on 15 February 2023 in a league match against Hastings United.[3]

In April 2023 it was announced that QPR had opted to not re-sign Hamid.[7]

International career

Hamid was called up to the Pakistan national team for the first time for a friendly against the Maldives in March 2023. He was one of two foreign-based players in the squad, along with Abdul Shehzad of Danish club HB Køge.[8] He made his international debut on 21 March 2023 in the eventual 0–1 away defeat. Following the match, Pakistan manager Shahzad Anwar applauded Hamid's performance, including an acrobatic shot which was the team's best chance on goal.[9]
