James 'Jamie' Fullarton (born 20 July 1974 in Bellshill) is a Scottish ex-professional footballer who is currently Development Coach at Bolton Wanderers.
Career
Fullarton won 18 Scotland under-21 caps, captaining the side at the 1996 under-21 European Championship, where they reached the semi-finals.
He spent the first six years of his career with St Mirren before moving to French side SC Bastia in 1996. After a year with Les Blues, he moved to Crystal Palace, where he managed nearly eighty appearances in three years.
After a short loan spell with Bolton Wanderers, Fullarton moved back to Scotland with Dundee United, although injury restricted him to only 20 appearances during his two years at Tannadice. It was at United in November 2000 that he received a serious injury, where a dislocation and double break of the ankle resulted in nearly ten minutes of on-field treatment.[2] The injury was so severe that Fullarton was close to having his foot amputated.[3]
After his release from United, Fullarton made 37 appearances for Brentford. He then moved to Southend United where after 17 appearances he suffered a serious knee injury at Chesterfield which required total reconstruction. He retired in 2005 after an attempted comeback in Singapore with Woodlands Wellington, failed.
Fullarton moved to Spain where he set up his own football academy, running teams from u8 to u19, playing against Spanish lower league professional club's academies. 7 years on the academy is still running with over 200 players in the system and a number having graduated to sign for professional clubs in both Spain and England.
In July 2011, Fullarton took over as Youth Team Coach at Bristol Rovers.
However, in the summer of 2012, he became the coach of the Bolton Wanderers under-21's from where he was released by mutual consent in October 2014, following the departure of manager, Dougie Freedman. Fullarton still oversees his football academy, Costa Unida, in Spain.
