Jamie played on trial in midfield for Exeter City in a pre-season friendly against West Bromwich Albion as a 2nd half substitute for Justin Walker on the 23rd of July 2002.

Jamie was a trainee at Bristol City and played semi professionally in Australia. 

Before joining Shrewsbury Town in the Community, in 2014, he was Community Manager at Hereford United FC from 2007.

In 2022 Jamie was the Chief Executive of Shrewsbury Town in the Community, a charitable organisation run separately from the football club with the "role of marketing Shropshire’s only full-time professional club throughout the county."

In 2022 he was interviews by Shrewsbury Town and said, 

"Jamie dreamt of being a professional footballer as a youngster and joined the Hereford United School of Excellence as an eight-year-old. When the club got into financial difficulties he left and spent two years at Aston Villa before being released and joining Bristol City, where he spent four years in the youth team and then as a young professional without actually making it into the first team.

“I had moved away from home at the age of 16 and had to grow up pretty quickly, especially being a country boy from Herefordshire,” he said. He tried to find a career for himself by working in a hotel and at a builder’s merchants while still playing for Newtown and Cwm Bran in the League of Wales. The opportunity then cropped up for him to play in Melbourne and Sydney but, when problems over his visa cropped up – the Aussies, he said, only wanted “marquee players” – so he returned to Hereford and started his own football coaching business. At the time, Graham Turner was the chairman and manager of Hereford United and he called him to say an opportunity had arisen for a community manager at the club. He was interviewed on a Friday and started work on the Monday. “That was my journey into football in the community,” said Jamie. He remained at Hereford until 2014, working with a former Shrewsbury Town player, Brian Williams, by which time Turner had moved to Shrewsbury, and he was offered a position in what then was the Shrewsbury Town Sports Trust, which was managed by Williams.
