When Bill Hamid waved goodbye to the D.C. United faithful after the final whistle at the Last Call at RFK in 2017, many were hopeful that the keeper would return to the club at sometime down the road. The club’s first ever homegrown player was off to start his European adventure, having turned down a new contract with the Black-and-Red, to sign with FC Midtjylland in Denmark.
Hamid had long hoped for a chance to test the waters overseas. At 27 years old, the move might have come a bit later than he hoped for, and Denmark wasn’t Hamid’s main target, but Midtjylland offered him a spot to showcase his talents to the rest of the continent.
