Raymond Jellema (born September 27, 1985) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Peterhead. Raised in Ayr,[1] he signed his first professional contract for Hamilton Academical during the 2002-03 season.
While appearances in the first season of his career were not forthcoming, Jellema made his debut appearance for the club against his future team Alloa Athletic during Hamilton's promotion-winning 2003-04 season. Still the second choice goalkeeper during 2004-05, due to David McEwan's presence at the club during this time (strangely enough, McEwan himself would later join Alloa), Jellema made four First Division appearances during the 2005-06 campaign.
Jellema became a regular first-team goalkeeper during the 2006-07 season, starting eighteen league games, as Hamilton finished in fourth position in the table. As the 2007-08 season got under way, Jellema transferred to Alloa for free. Jellema has since established himself as first choice goalkeeper with some consistent, solid performances and has been rated as one of the best goalkeepers in the Scottish Second Division.
In the summer 2009, Jellema moved to Africa where he spend two years working on and offshore with French Oil Company, Total.
Currently signed for Peterhead for season 2011/12, after returning to Scotland in May 2011.
