Jamie Thomas Proctor (born 25 March 1992) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Crawley Town.

Career

Proctor is a forward who has played for Preston North End, Swansea City, Shrewsbury Town and Crawley Town.

Born in Ingol, Preston, lifelong Preston North End fan Proctor came through the youth academy at Preston North End.[3] A return of 15 goals in 28 appearances– in his first youth team season of 2008/09 was an excellent start to scholarship life.

On 27 January 2010, Proctor was handed a 2 and a half-year professional contract.[4] He made his professional début on 2 May 2010, coming on as a substitute against Reading in the 4–1 defeat at the Madejski Stadium.[5]

On 13 August 2010, he joined Stockport County on a 28-day loan.[6] The next day, Proctor made his debut, coming on as a substitute, in a 0–0 draw against Wycombe. In September, Proctor's loan spell at Stockport was extended for another month until October.[7] On 28 September 2010, Proctor set up a goal for George Donnelly in a 2–2 draw against Accrington Stanley.[8] He made seven appearances for the club before returning to Preston.[9] He made his first team debut in the final game of the 2009/10 season, coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute away at Reading.[10]

Proctor was largely on the fringes of the first team squad during the 2010/11 season and had to wait until the last game of the season to score his first senior goal for Preston North End in a 3–1 win against Watford[11]

He played 7 games in 2011 pre-season, scoring 10 goals, and during the early 2011/12, he featured in a three-man strike-force, consisting of himself and fellow strikers Iain Hume and Neil Mellor. However, all three got injured at one point or another down the line – Proctor's injury being a double hernia.[12] He returned to action before Christmas, but failed to re-create his pre-season and early season form, not scoring again for the rest of the season.

Proctor allegedly told manager Graham Westley that he wished to play at a higher level before pre-season 2012/13, with interest from Crystal Palace.[13] On 18 August, he signed with Premier League club Swansea City.[14] However, his time at Swansea City was 'frustrating', making no appearances at all in any competition. On 26 October 2012, Proctor joined Shrewsbury Town on a month's loan, to gain first team experience[15] The next day, Proctor made his debut, making his first start of the season and playing 90 minutes, in a 2–2 draw against Colchester United. Proctor would make only four appearances despite his promising debut(three in league and one in FA Cup).

Proctor left Swansea City after only five months to join Crawley Town on 16 January 2013 for an undisclosed fee. Proctor believed he would get more game time to develop at Crawley and hoped the move would help kick-start his career.[16]
