Position : Management

Jamie returned to Runcorn Linnets in June 2022 to become our assistant manager and he was our top scorer across the 2022-23 season.

He had played for the club in early 2019-2020, scoring five goals in 15 appearances, including 10 starts.

He left in November '19 to join Mossley, their then manager being current Linnets boss Dave Wild.

Jamie in 2021-22 scored 18 goals in our division for Ramsbottom United and Glossop North End to extend his prolific career record.

In 2018-19, the season before arriving at Linnets, the now 34-year-old had finished as joint second in the NPL West scoring charts with 22 goals in spells with Widnes, Clitheroe and Ramsbottom United.

Jamie made his Rammy league debut against Linnets as we won 3-2 at The Harry Williams Riverside Stadium on December 1st 2018 and hit their winner in the return clash at the Linnets Stadium on March 30th - the 2-1 comeback victory ultimately helping the visitors to secure fifth place, the final play-off spot, ahead of us.

The player had ended the previous season with Colwyn Bay, having joined the Welsh club from Glossop in February 2017.

Jamie hit 29 goals for the Hillmen in NPL Division One North in 2015-16.

He had first come to prominence with Prescot Cables, where he stayed for close to two seasons before transferring to Marine.

His career really took off at this point with the then youngster's 28 goals in 2010-11 drawing attention from Football League scouts.

Jamie's clubs before arriving at Runcorn had also included Chester, FC Halifax Town  in Conference (now National League) North and AFC Fylde.

More recently, Jamie returned to Ramsbottom at the start of the 2021-22 after second stints with Widnes and Prescot but moved back to Glossop in September '22 with the season 11 games old.
