Club career
Melbourne Victory
On 21 March 2011 he signed a 3 year senior contract with Hyundai A-League club Melbourne Victory after performing very well in the Youth League.[1] He made his professional debut in the 2011-12 A-League season on 12 November 2011, in a round 6 clash against Central Coast Mariners.[2] Jimmy Jeggo, as referred to by the Melbourne Victory fans has quickly become a fan favourite in his few appearances for Melbourne. On the 10th February 2012, he was selected for his first Hyundai A-League start for Melbourne Victory against the Central Coast Mariners at AAMI Park, where Victory went on to record a 2-1 come from behind win. Jimmy Jeggo's first Hyundai A-League goal for the Melbourne Victory came on the 16th March 2012, with a strike from outside the penalty box, in their 3-0 win over Wellington Phoenix, which would be the final home game Melbourne Victory would play in the 2011-12 A-League season.[3]
The 2012–13 A-League season saw James Jeggo's first team opportunities reduced. He played 310 minutes, mostly from the bench, less than half the time of his break out season of 2011/12.[4]

On 7 March 2011 he was selected to represent the Australia Olympic football team in an Asian Olympic Qualifier match against Iraq.[5]
