Club career

Early career

Hamuľak began his football career at ŠK Futura Humenné, from where he went on loan to MŠK Novohrad Lučenec as a youth player. In 2011, he transferred to Vranov nad Topľou.[2]

Before the 2012/13 season, it was announced that Hamuľak would be goin on loan to Zemplín Michalovce for six months. In February 2013, he transferred to the team and signed a contract until 31 December 2016.[3] In a match against FK Spartak Dubnica nad Váhom, he scored a double for his team, ending Zemplín’s 455 minute goal drought in the league.[4] In the 2013/14 season, Hamuľak became the top scorer of the 2nd Slovak Football League, scoring a total of 26 goals in 30 matches.[2][5]

Slovan Liberec

In July 2014, Hamuľak went on a one-year loan with an option to Slovan Liberec.[6] On 5 July 2014, in a friendly match against Bohemians Praha 1905, he scored a hat-trick, securing a 3–3 draw.[7] He made his first league debut for Slovan Liberec against SK Dynamo České Budějovice on 27 July 2014.[8] He played his first competitive match for Liberec on 17 July in the 2nd qualifying round of the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League against home team MFK Košice, coming on in the 65th minute in a 1–0 victory.[9] He returned to Zemplín early in January 2015, playing a total of 7 league matches for Liberec.[10]

Break from football

In 2018, when the case of illegal match-fixing in the two highest Slovak competitions broke out in June 2018, Partizán Bardejov resonated significantly in it. Up to five players and a coach were allegedly guilty in its colors. Hamuľak was also among the accused. After the scandal, he didn’t play football for three years.[11]

FK Humenné

In 2021, Hamuľak returned to FK Humenné. He scored a hat-trick in a 3–0 league win against FK Slavoj Trebišov.[12]
