James "Jamie" McCluskey (born November 6, 1987 in Bellshill, Lanarkshire) is a Scottish football player, currently without a club after being released by St. Johnstone.
McCluskey graduated from Hibernian's youth team and made fourteen first team appearances in the 2004-05 season. When McCluskey made his debut, he became the youngest-ever player to play in the Scottish Premier League. This record was broken by Scott Robinson of Hearts in April 2008.
Dunfermline Athletic's Alex Edwards still holds the record prior to the formation of the SPL, playing his first senior game in the top division aged 16 years and 4 days[1].
An exciting, and pacy midfielder, Hibernian's official website likened his style of play to that of Jimmy Johnstone and Willie Henderson, two legends of Scottish football. He was released by Hibs, however, in the summer of 2007 and was signed by St. Johnstone on 28 June 2007[1]. McCluskey suffered terrible injury problems with St. Johnstone, however, and only made five league appearances before being released at the end of the 2007-08 season[2].
