Career
Having left Everton as a trainee in 1997, Speare joined Darlington making two appearances in the 1996–97 season. He then moved over to Ireland and joined Sligo Rovers.
Following a move to then non-league side Accrington Stanley in 1998, Speare played in almost 300 games over a 6-year period until the summer of 2004.
Speare has since appeared for a number of lower league clubs including Southport, Lancaster City and Barrow amongst others.
Following a goalkeeper injury crisis at Accrington Stanley in the winter of 2008 Speare re-joined the club on a short-term contract, despite not making an appearance he was a regular on the substitutes bench until his release in January 2009.
In November 2011 following an injury to Ian Dunbavin Speare re-joined the club for a third time on another short-term deal, making the substitutes bench again on 12 November 2011 in a 1st Round FA Cup tie against Notts County.
On 12 October 2013, Jamie joined Cammell Laird as a goalkeeping coach. In October 2014 he followed manager Tony Sullivan to Witton Albion.
