Nathan Jameson (born 20 March 1985) is an English footballer who played in the Football League for Darlington.^[3] He began his senior career with Walsall, but never played for their first team. He also played in the Irish Premier League for Glenavon and for a number of non-league clubs, mainly in his native north-east of England. A midfielder in the early part of his career, he has also played as a forward.

Football career

Jameson was born in Middlesbrough,^[2] and as a youngster played for Whinney Banks in the Teesside League.^[4] He joined First Division club Walsall in the 2003 close season,^[5] and signed a professional contract a year later. He was 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.^[6][7] 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.^[6][8]

He returned to the north-east where he played twice for Northern League club Durham City,^[9] before earning himself a monthly contract with League Two club Darlington, to give them further depth in midfield.^[10] 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.^[1] 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]
