Hemmings is a product of Wolverhampton Wanderers' academy, having been with the club since age nine, and has represented England at youth level.
He signed a professional contract age 17 in February 2009 and soon went on loan for a month to gain first team experience at League One side Cheltenham Town, where he made his senior debut against Millwall.[3]
He made his Wolves debut as a substitute against Barnsley on 25 April 2009 in which the club clinched the Championship title; he also featured as a substitute against Doncaster Rovers a week later on the final day of the season.
To gain further first team experience, he went on a month's loan to League Two side Torquay United in October 2010[4] making his debut on 23 October, as a substitute, in a 1–1 draw at Gillingham.[5] In the second round of a FA Cup, Hemmings provided a winning goal for Billy Kee as Torquay beat Walsall 1–0. However, after making nine league appearance, Hemmings loan spell at Torquay United had ended,[6] despite having it extended until the end of the season.[7]
In November 2011, he moved on loan to League Two side Plymouth Argyle until January 2012.[8] He scored his first senior goal on his debut for the Pilgrims against Northampton Town;[9] then scored his second goal, which turns out to be a winner and provided a double assist in a 3–2 win over Bristol Rovers.[10] His loan spell was then extended to run until the end of the season.[11]
His contract at Wolves expired in June 2012 and was not renewed.[12] After being released by Plymouth, Hemmings was linked a return to Plymouth on a permanent basis, but manager Carl Fletcher decided against signing Hemmings.[13]

A free agent, Hemmings signed for League One side Walsall in a two-year deal.[14] Hemmings scored on his Walsall debut against Brentford with an 18-yard drive into the bottom corner of the goal in the first round of the League Cup[15] and made his league debut in an opening game of the season; as Walsall lost 3–0 against Doncaster Rovers. On 17 November 2012, Hemmings scored his first league goal in a 2–2 draw against Crawley Town.
On 27 March 2014, Hemmings joined League Two side Burton Albion on loan until 24 April 2014.[16] Because the Brewers reached the play-offs Hemmings extended his loan until the end of the 2013–14 season.[17] He was released by Walsall in May 2014.[18]
