Jamie originally signed for Nomads from Congleton Town the in summer of 2007, but he left in the December to join Knutsford. Jamie finally returned to us in July 2009. He is an out-and-out traditional winger who can play on either flank and has pace to burn. He also occasionally features up front.
After outstanding performances throughout Nomads second successive Championship season in the HG Cymru Alliance last season, Jamie virtually swept the board at Nomads Awards Presentation evening. He received the Managers Player of the Season, Supporters Player of the Season and the Players Player of the Season.
Jamie agreed to answer some questions for the Nomads Website at the teams training session.
Q 1: “Jamie, what’s it like to be back after a couple of months rest from playing?”
A: “It’s great to be back. Nice to have a break for a week or two, but I don't know what to do with myself on a Saturday without football!”
Q 2: “How is the pre season training going for you and the other lads?”
A: “It’s going really well so far. We just can't wait for the pre season friendly’s to start now! Jay Catton had us in quite early this year and is giving us training plans to do at home as well. So we are being given all the help we need and will have no excuses if we are not fit and ready for the start of the season.”
Q 3: “What do you think about Nomads first few fixtures in the Welsh Premier League?”
A: “I think it’s a great start to the season. If we want to compete in this league, we need to perform well against the best teams. Playing three of the top teams in our opening fixtures, means we have to be at the top of our game from day one. We have been used to winning every week for the last two years, so it will be a lot different being underdogs in many games this season. We have to be mentally strong and confident in our abilities.”
Q 4: “Finally Jamie, what are your personal hopes and ambitions for the coming season?”
A: “I just want to keep improving and try and make a difference to the team in every game. It’s easy to play well personally when you are playing in the best team in the league. This year I know I need to step up to a whole new level and in my opinion, consistency is the key. If I can perform to my best week in week out then I'm confident I will do well. I'm really looking forward to it.”
“Thanks Jamie, enjoy your holiday for the next couple of weeks. Don’t forget to take Jay’s training schedule with you mate, then we can all look forward to seeing you back nice and fit in a couple of weeks time”
