The former Mansfield Town man originally broke his fifth metatarsal back in March and went under the knife to address the problem.
But Hamilton, who looked off the pace at the start of the season, required further surgery to remove a screw that has been causing significant pain and discomfort.
He played the full 90 minutes during yesterday’s behind-closed-doors outing, which took place at Everton’s Finch Farm training complex.
