Tomer Hemed

Maccabi Haifa

Hemed was called up to Maccabi Haifa's first-team in early 2006, after scoring regularly for the under-18 side. He appeared three times with the main squad, scoring once, before returning to the youth side. He made his debut in the campaign on 3 March 2007, coming on as a substitute in a 1–2 home loss against Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv.^[7] Hemed scored his first professional goals on 26 May, netting his side's both goals in a 2–0 win at Maccabi Herzliya.^[8] In 2007, he travelled with the Under-21 side to that year's Torneo di Viareggio; he scored once as Haifa was knocked-out in the group stage.

Hemed was subsequently loaned to Maccabi Herzliya,^[9] Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv^[10] and Maccabi Ahi Nazareth^[11] (the latter being managed by John Gregory).^{[citation needed]} Nazareth, however, finished last as Hemed scored nine goals.^{[citation needed]}

Hemed returned to Maccabi Haifa in the 2010 summer, and appeared in 45 matches during the 2010–11 campaign, also scoring 18 goals as the club was crowned champions.^{[citation needed]}

On 21 June 2011, Hemed signed a three-year deal with Spanish La Liga club RCD Mallorca.^[12][13] He made his debut in the main Spanish football league on 28 August, starting and being booked in a 1–0 home success against RCD Espanyol.^[14]

Hemed scored his first goals abroad on 1 October, scoring both his side's goals in a 2–2 draw at CA Osasuna.^[15] He also netted twice in his Copa del Rey debut, a 6–1 home routing over Real Sociedad on 10 January of the following year.^[16]

Hemed finished his first season abroad with nine goals, although four of them were from the penalty spot. In his second season he scored 11 goals, with the Balearic Islands outfit being relegated, however. In May 2013 Hemed suffered an Achilles tendon rupture,^[17] which kept him sidelined for 7 months.^[18]

Almería

On 2 July 2014 Hemed returned to the Spanish top level, by agreeing to a two-year deal with UD Almería.^[19] After struggling to score in his first matches, he netted his first goal with the Andalusians on 4 October, the last in a 2–2 home draw against Elche CF.

In January 2015, Hemed scored two braces against Málaga CF (2–1 away win) and Valencia CF (2–3 away loss), taking his tally up to 6. He finished the campaign with eight goals, being the club's top goalscorer, but suffered team relegation.

Brighton & Hove Albion

On 24 June 2015, Hemed signed a three-year deal with English Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee. He scored his first goal for the Seagulls from the penalty spot in the last moments of an away game at Fulham, to seal a 2–1 victory.^[20] Hemed scored just one goal between September 2015 and February 2016, which drew criticism from supporters, but rediscovered his early season form to finish as the club's top scorer with 17 goals.

Tomer Hemed scored 13 goals in all competitions in Brighton's promotion-winning 2016–17 season, trading starting positions regularly with top-scorer Glenn Murray and Sam Baldock in a strike force that managed to score 44 league goals between them. Highlights from Hemed throughout the season included a last gasp equaliser in a 3–3 draw away to Brentford,^[21] the only goal in a hard earned 1–0 win against Cardiff City,^[22] and a late penalty in a narrow 1–0 away win against Burton Albion.^[23]

On 9 September 2017, Hemed scored his first Premier League goal for Brighton in a 3–1 victory over West Bromwich Albion.^[24] Hemed scored again in Brighton's next home Premier League game, a 1–0 win against Newcastle United on 24 September.^[25] Three days later, the FA announced that Hemed had been given a three-match ban for a stamp on the calf of Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin, an incident which went unnoticed by referee Andre Marriner.^[26]

On 16 November 2017, Hemed signed a contract extension with Brighton, keeping him on the south coast until the summer of 2019.^[27]

Charlton Athletic

On 19 August 2019, Hemed joined Championship side Charlton Athletic on a one-year contract after being released at Brighton.^[30] He made his debut for The Addicks as a substitute in a 1–0 home victory over fellow London side, Brentford on 24 August.^[31] Hemed was released by the South London side at the end of his contract following the clubs relegation after making 19 appearances in all competitions without finding the net.^[32][33]

Wellington Phoenix

On 30 November 2020, Hemed signed a one-year contract as a marquee player for A-League club Wellington Phoenix.^[34] He scored his first goal in his eighth game on 15 March 2021.^[35]

On 17 May 2021, Hemed drew media attention after he draped himself in an Israeli flag and donned a Jewish kippah during a 2–2 draw with Melbourne City FC. He received a yellow card for covering the face or head with a mask or other covering. This development coincided with the 2021 Israel-Palestine crisis.
