Career
Sheffield Wednesday
Born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire,[3] Jameson progressed through the Sheffield Wednesday youth system.[2] He was loaned to Conference North club Gainsborough Trinity during the 2008–09 season, where he made three appearances.[4] He joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Ilkeston Town on loan later that season.[5] Jameson signed a new one-year contract with Wednesday during the summer of 2009[2] before being loaned to Harrogate Town of the Conference North for one month on 9 October.[6] His debut came a day later in a 2–2 home draw with Droylsden, and completed the loan spell with four appearances.[7] He joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Matlock Town for one month on 29 November 2009.[8][9] The loan was extended for a second month, before Wednesday recalled him in January 2010 due to an injury.[10]
He made his debut for Wednesday on 20 November 2010 in a League One match away to Milton Keynes Dons which ended in a 4–1 win.[11] He made his second appearance for the club in the reverse fixture at home on 5 February 2011, with the match finishing a 2–2 draw.[11] Jameson extended his contract at the club to another two years on 24 May 2012, with manager Dave Jones saying he was likely to be loaned out in 2012–13.[12] He joined League Two club York City on an emergency loan for the rest of the season on 7 March 2013,[13] although he did not make any appearances for the club.[14] Jameson joined Conference North club Stalybridge Celtic on a one-month loan on 29 November 2013.[15]
On 10 January 2014, he joined League One club Bradford City on loan until 11 February 2014.[16]
Non-League
Jameson signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Buxton in the summer of 2014, despite clubs from higher divisions showing an interest in signing him.[17] He debuted on the opening day of 2014–15, in a 1–0 home defeat to Nantwich Town.[18] In January 2015, Buxton were seeking a new goalkeeper, as Jameson had made a number of high-profile errors over 2014–15.[19] In November 2015, he joined Handsworth Parramore of the Northern Counties East League Premier Division on a dual registration deal, in order to play more matches.[20] He made his debut in a 3–2 home win over Hallam, in which he made an 89th-minute save described by The Star as "brilliant".[21] This result meant Handsworth progressed into the last 64 of the FA Vase for the first time.[21] Despite missing much of the season through injury, Jameson joined the club permanently in June 2016,[22] but left two months later when rejoining Northern Premier League Premier Division club Matlock Town.[23]
