James Lewis "Jamie" Jones (born 18 February 1989) is an English footballer who plays for Leyton Orient as a goalkeeper.

Career

Everton

Born in Kirkby, Merseyside, Jones signed his first professional contract with Everton on 4 July 2007.^[1] In the 2007–08 season he managed some reserve games but failed to secure a new contract at Everton and so left the club at the end of the season.^{[citation needed]}

Leyton Orient

On 30 June 2008 Jones signed a two-year contract with League One side Leyton Orient.^[2] He signed for the club stating that he was happy to be fighting for a starting place with fellow goalkeeper Glenn Morris. He made his debut in a League Cup match against Southend United. He made his league debut in a 2–1 defeat to Scunthorpe United.^[3] On 10 October 2009, Jones was knocked unconscious after receiving a blow to the head by team mate Ben Chorley after a goalmouth scramble. He was stretchered off the pitch and taken to hospital. After Glenn Morris' departure from the club, Jones was promoted to the No. 1 shirt from his previous No. 12.

On 23 November 2013, Jones was bizarrely punched by a pitch invader during an away match at Swindon Town. Jones was thankfully unhurt and able to finish the match while the supporter was arrested immediately.^[4]
