Steven Hammell (born 18 February 1982 in Rutherglen) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Southend United.
Hammell, a Left-back, joined Southend United in July 2006 on a free transfer from Motherwell after his contract had expired - turning down more established sides such as Derby County, Southampton and Aberdeen. In 2005, Hammell was the subject of a £1m bid from Scottish Premier League Champions Celtic, however the move did not materialise.
Hammell came to speak to Southend manager Steve Tilson after a conversation with former Blues loanee Alan McCormack - also of Motherwell. Hammell praised Tilson and the set-up at Southend and after a nervous 48 hours wait whilst Steven brought his girlfriend down to Essex to check out the area, he agreed to sign a 2-year contract.
Hammell also has been capped at International level, making one appearance against Sweden in 2004 under caretaker manager Tommy Burns.
