Club career

=Early career=

Hamulić started playing football at a local club Alphense Boys, before joining the youth academy of Go Ahead Eagles in 2019. A year later, he switched to Quick Boys' youth setup. In February 2021, he signed with Lithuanian team Dainava, with whom he made his professional debut and scored his first professional goal. Due to the club's relegation that season, Hamulic moved on loan to Botev Plovdiv, where he made a single appearance for the reserve team before returning to Dainava.{{cite news | title=Нещо странно става в Ботев!
