[edit] Career
Born in Uxbridge, Hand started his career at Watford and had loan spells with Oxford United,[1] Livingston and Peterborough United.[2][3]
He is rumoured to be a contestant on the 2012 series of 'Celebrity Big Brother,' which commences in January 2012.
[edit] Fisher Athletic and Northampton Town
Hand departed Watford after the closure of the January 2006 transfer window, joining Fisher Athletic who were not bound by the regulations of the transfer window. Without making an appearance for the club, he joined Northampton Town on loan for the remainder of the season in February 2006.[4] At the time, Fisher were manager by Justin Edinburgh, a former team-mate of Northampton's then boss Colin Calderwood leading to speculation that the Fisher move had been used to exploit a loophole in the transfer window system.[5] Hand debuted in the 1–1 home draw with Leyton Orient on 14 February 2006 and helped the club secure promotion from Football League Two. However, he was not offered a contract by the Cobblers at the end of the season and returned to Fisher Athletic.[6]
Hand joined Chester City in May 2006,[7] and was a regular in the 2006–07 season. His final game for the club was in a Football League Cup tie with Nottingham Forest. The match ended goalless and Hand scored in the penalty shoot-out but Chester went out.
[edit] Lincoln City
Hand joined another League Two side, Lincoln City, in August 2007,[8] agreeing a two-year contract with the club and linking up with Lincoln's then Director of Football John Deehan with whom he had worked with at Northampton Town.[9] Hand made his league debut in the 3–1 away victory over Mansfield Town on 18 August 2007 and was a regular presence in the side under the management of John Schofield but lost his place when City came under the management of Peter Jackson. At the end of February 2008, Hand was loaned out to Conference side Oxford United until the end of the season,[10] making his second debut for the Us in the 0–0 draw at Forest Green Rovers on 1 March 2008. Despite starting 13 of Oxford's remaining 14 fixtures, the club announced that Hand would not be offered a deal for the following season and he returned to Sincil Bank.[11] On 6 May 2008 Hand's contract with Lincoln was cancelled by mutual consent.[12]
[edit] Ebbsfleet United
In August 2008 Hand joined Conference side Ebbsfleet United on non-contract terms, after spending time with them in pre-season.[13] He made his debut in a 2–0 away victory over Torquay United on 18 August 2008, coming on as a late substitute for Stacy Long. For personal reasons Hand was allowed to leave Ebbsfleet United in February 2009.
Hand then joined Chelmsford City for the remainder of the season, before signing for Woking in September 2009. In March 2010 he signed for Hemel Hempstead Town.
[edit] Hayes & Yeading United
He returned to the Conference National after joining Hayes & Yeading United in August 2010. He made 40 league appearances in his first season, scoring two goals. He was also made the club's captain.
He moved on loan to divisional rivals Luton Town on 9 September 2011 until December 2011, with a view to a permanent move in January 2012.[14] At the end of his loan spell with Luton Town manager Gary Brabin decided not to pursue a transfer, explaining his thinking behind the decision he said "Jamie was a fantastic character but hadn’t nailed down a place in the squad that was his own, so it makes sense not to pursue it."[15]
