Jamie McCombe
Jamie Paul McCombe (born 1 January 1983) is an English professional footballer who last played for Lincoln City.
Jamie McCombe played youth team football for Frickley Athletic in South Elmsall, West Yorkshire between 1996 and 1999 before signing for Scunthorpe United youth team terms.
McCombe began his career as a trainee with Scunthorpe United. He made his debut during the third year of his training scheme when he scored the third goal in a 3–0 defeat of Darlington in a Football League Trophy tie on 30 October 2001. He made his Football League debut in the 4–1 victory over Leyton Orient on 3 November 2001 and, after just three league appearances, was offered a 2+1⁄2-year professional contract. He made 17 league appearances in his debut season before being named Scunthorpe's young player of the season: he began to attract the attention of scouts from clubs at a higher level, enjoying a one-day trial with Aston Villa where he played for Villa against Shrewsbury Town in Malcolm Starkey's testimonial match on 2 May 2002.
He continued his progress the following season, making 31 league appearances as Scunthorpe reached the play-offs. After starting the 2003–2004 season in the first team, McCombe lost his place at the end of September and, at the end of October, linked up with Halifax Town on loan. He scored on his debut in the 3–0 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge on 1 November 2003 and made seven league appearances for the Shaymen before being recalled to Scunthorpe in December. In January 2004, it seemed as if he would be allowed to leave Glanford Park on a free transfer and he agreed terms to join Lincoln City at the beginning of February, only for the deal to be blocked. Five weeks after initially agreeing terms, a Football League tribunal ruled that McCombe could join Lincoln once they had given Scunthorpe seven days notice of their intentions, and he joined the Imps on a contract initially lasting until the end of the 2003–2004 season. As part of the deal, McCombe had to sign a confidentiality agreement with the Football League preventing him from discussing the details of the transfer.
He moved to Lincoln City on a free transfer in March 2004.[citation needed]
He joined Bristol City in May 2006. McCombe made his debut for Bristol City on 5 August 2006 in a 1–0 win over former club Scunthorpe United coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for Phil Jevons, his first start for the club came on 21 September 2006 in a 2–1 win over Leyton Orient where he played the full 90 minutes.
McCome scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw away at Brentford on 7 October 2006; he scored his second in a 1–0 away win over York City in the FA Cup. McCombe went on to make 49 appearances in all competitions for Bristol City with 41 of them coming in the League, also went on to score 6 goals in all with 4 coming in the League during the 2006/07 season.
Bristol City won promotion to the Football League Championship in his first season with the club after finishing second in the league and McCombe was voted the club's Player of the Season.
