Jamal Easter (born 15 November 1987) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a striker. He plays for Carmarthen Town having been released by Championship side Cardiff City. He is a Wales Under-21 international.
Easter was born in Cardiff and joined Cardiff City as a trainee, turning professional in August 2006. On October 27, 2006 he joined Bristol Rovers on loan,[1] where he played in three league games without scoring and one Johnstone's Paint Trophy game, where he scored one goal against his brother Jermaine's team, Wycombe Wanderers.
On January 4, 2007 he joined Torquay United on loan, signing at the same time as his Cardiff teammate Nick McKoy.[2] He made his Torquay debut two days later as a second half substitute for Matt Hockley in the 2–0 defeat at home to Southampton in the FA Cup Third Round.
He was a regular in the Torquay side, but failed to impress the new managerial team of Keith Curle and Colin Lee, and returned to Cardiff at the end of his loan spell on March 3, 2007. He was released by Cardiff in May 2007.
Easter returned to Torquay United on trial in July 2007, playing the second half of the pre-season friendly against Newton Abbot. He signed for Carmarthen Town in August 2007.
