In 2000 Lamont joined Rotherham and was the club’s under-21 captain in 2001. At the 2002 Commonwealth Games he represented Scotland at sevens. In the summer of 2003 he left Rotherham and joined Glasgow Rugby, where he went on to have a very successful first season and cemented himself as a fans' favourite at Hughenden.
Lamont earned his first cap for Scotland against Manu Samoa on their tour in the summer of 2004. On his Murrayfield debut he scored a try against the Australians in the autumn of 2004. In Scotland's 2005 Six Nations Championship match against Italy he was named man of the match.Furthermore, he helped the side to an historic victory over the French in the 2006 championship with two tries. His explosive, powerful running and size are his most deadly assets. To put into words "He is a tank".
In the summer of 2005 Lamont joined Northampton Saints from Glasgow. Recently scored two memorable tries for Scotland against the hopeful Grand Slam winners (France) in Scotland's six nation stunning 20-16 victory on the 5th February 2006 , one of which he joined a ruck and used his strength and power to bundle over the line and take the Scots to victory. Then, 13 days later added to his growing reputation by scoring 4 tries against Saracens. He is the first Saints player to achieve this since another Scot, Craig Moir, in 1996. On 26th February 2006, he played a major part in the Scotland squad's victory over ENGLAND to win the Calcutta Cup by 18 points to 12.
His younger brother Rory Lamont plays on the wing for Sean's former club Glasgow.
Sean appears in the Dieux du Stade pin-up calendar for 2007.[1]
