James "Jamie" Foster (born 27 July 1990) is a professional Rugby League player who plays for Huddersfield in the Super League. His position of preference is in the centre, but he has been known to convert to the wings and fullback. Foster is also a recognised goalkicker. He signed from local amateur club Blackbrook Royals ARLFC. As of June 2014, Jamie now lives in Newton-Le-Willows, not far from where he grew up in Haydock, St Helens.
In the fourth round of the 2010 Challenge Cup, he finally made his first-grade début, after three years in reserve-grade rugby, playing on the wing in place of the injured Francis Meli, where he kicked eight goals from as many attempts in a 56–16 win over Toulouse Olympique. In his Super League debut the week later, again deputising for Meli, Foster looked impressive once more with the boot scoring eight from eight in a 41–20 success over Leeds Rhinos. His first failure with the boot only came in his third appearance, when, in a 54–0 Magic Weekend win over Hull Kingston Rovers, he kicked only two from six, whilst also scoring his maiden try for the club. He missed the cut for the Challenge Cup game against Harlequins RL, but thanks to a recurrence of Meli's injury, Foster returned for the 34–42 loss at Salford City Reds, in which he was brought off the field after ten minutes after a poor display defensively.
