Player Profile:

Diminutive striker born in Crawley, West Sussex. Jamie started his career with Broadbridge Heath where his goalscoring during 2000-01 earned a move to Horsham at the start of the following season. In November 2001 he scored 9 times in three matches, all within 12 days. He moved to Aldershot Town in August 2002.

He struggled to establish himself with Aldershot and had loan spells with other clubs - Horsham in February 2003 and Carshalton Athletic in December 2003 - before being released in February 2004.

He joined AFC Wimbledon in March 2004, helping them gain promotion to the Isthmian First Division, before returning to Horsham in October the same year. Jamie ended up scoring more than 100 goals for Horsham during his spells there.

In 2006, Jamie joined Woking and in March 2007 signed for Dagenham & Redbridge. With the Daggers promoted to the Football League at the end of 2006-07.

Jamie made his Football League debut on 18.8.07 as a second-half substitute in the 2-2 draw at home to Wycombe Wanderers.

In February 2008, Jamie joined Grays Athletic on loan for a month, which was extended until the end of the 2007-08 season. He scored nine goals in 16 appearances for Grays and was offered a two-year contract at the start of the 2008-09 season.

Jamie signed for fellow Conference National outfit Eastbourne Borough in July 2009. He scored 39 goals over two seasons and was voted the Supporters' and Players' Player of the Year for the 2010-11 season.

Jamie signed for Conference Premier Lincoln City on a two-year deal in July 2011. After an injury-hit first season, Jamie helped the Imps survive in the Conference Premier in a difficult 2012-13 season, finishing as top scorer. 

At the end of his contract, Jamie joined Sutton United where he scored 15 times in 39 appearances during 2013-14. He also had a brief loan spell at Eastbourne Borough.

Jamie signed for Margate for 2014-15, being reunited with former Aldershot boss Terry Brown. He made his debut as a sub in a 4-2 home win over Canvey Island on 20.9.14.

Jamie then had a run of starts in the Margate team and his first goal came on 4.10.14 in a 4-1 win at Bury Town.

Jamie came on as a sub in both our play-off matches against Dulwich Hamlet and Hendon. He finished the season with seven goals from 19 appearances (plus 15 as sub).

Jamie was retained for 2015-16 as Margate entered Conference South.

Margate made a slow start to the campaign, with goalscoring a problem. However, Jamie helped ensure our first league win on 15.9.15 with a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory at his old club Eastbourne Borough.

This was followed with a goal in a 4-1 FA Cup win at home to Truro City on 10.10.15. The following week he scored our goal in a 1-1 draw at Oxford City.

After that, Jamie tended to be named as a sub and his last appearance for Margate was on 16.1.16 when he came off the bench in a 4-1 home win over Chelmsford City.

Jamie then spent a month on loan at Eastbourne Borough, a move which then became permanent.

Manager Nikki Bull said of the move: "When I got the job, I promised all the players that they would get a chance to play but unfortunately with the form of Freddie [Ladapo] and the way we play that hasn't been possible."

Jamie stayed at Eastbourne until 2018.

In August 2018, he joined Three Bridges before, in January 2019, returning to Broadbridge Heath.

In November 2023, Jamie joined Horsham YMCA.
