The deal is hoped to be completed shortly.
Hamilton a former £m+ player from Newcastle made a limited number of appearances last season with niggling injuries hampering him when he did break into the team.
He becomes the second player to leave City for another club, Leo FW moved to Doncaster Rovers at the end of last week.
