Hamilton lost his Tour Card in 2017; he went on to play in the BDO where he reached two BDO World Championships; he lost to eventual champion Wayne Warren earlier this month.
He took this form to Q-School where the Stoke on Trent ace finished fifth in the Q-School Order of Merit; which is well within the top twelve.
"I've done it. It's been a long road back. Life will always send challenges your way but you do not give up on your dreams because things get tough, you work hard it get it right again," wrote Hamilton on Facebook.
A word of thanks was also given to Darryl Fitton; who himself went close to a Tour Card on Saturday. "The practice you've put in with me over the last couple of months has been unreal and I'm gutted not to be sharing the experience with you."
