Football career

Jameson was born in Middlesbrough,[1] and as a youngster played for Whinney Banks in the Teesside League.[3] He joined Football League First Division club Walsall in the 2003 close season,[4] and signed a professional contract a year later. He was twice named as a substitute for Walsall's first team, once when manager Paul Merson fielded a team of reserves in a League Cup match, and once for a league match against Blackpool, but was not used.[5][6] He went on loan to Southern League club Bromsgrove Rovers in February 2005, but was reported to be homesick and his contract was ended by mutual consent in March.[5][7]

He returned to the north-east where he played twice for Northern League club Durham City,[8] before earning himself a monthly contract with League Two club Darlington, to give them further depth in midfield.[9] He made his debut as a last-minute substitute as Darlington were eliminated from the League Cup by local rivals Hartlepool United, and his first Football League appearance, again off the bench, in the next match, a 4–4 draw away at Chester City. He made four more substitute appearances before his first start, which was on 22 October as Darlington beat Cheltenham Town 3–1.[10] Within days, he had broken a metatarsal bone and was expected to be out for several weeks,[11] and he was released in January.[12]

Jameson then played in the Northern League for Dunston[13] and Billingham Town,[14] before joining Irish League club Glenavon in January 2008.[15] He returned to the Northern League in August 2008 with Billingham Synthonia, where he spent five seasons,[16] then had short spells with Consett,[17] Shildon[18] and Guisborough Town,[19] before returning to Billingham Synthonia in September 2014.[20]
