James Lewis "Jamie" Jones (born 18 February 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Stevenage.
He has previously played for Leyton Orient, and has had loan spells with Coventry City, and Rochdale.
Born in Kirkby, Merseyside, Jones signed his first professional contract with Everton on 4 July 2007. In the 2007–08 season he managed some reserve games but failed to secure a new contract at Everton and so left the club at the end of the season and signed a contract with Leyton Orient.
On 30 June 2008 Jones signed a two-year contract with League One side Leyton Orient. He signed for the club stating that he was happy to be fighting for a starting place with fellow goalkeeper Glenn Morris. He made his debut in a League Cup match against Southend United. He made his league debut in a 2–1 defeat to Scunthorpe United. On 10 October 2009, Jones was knocked unconscious after receiving a blow to the head by teammate Ben Chorley after a goalmouth scramble. He was stretchered off the pitch and taken to hospital. After Glenn Morris' departure from the club, Jones was promoted to the No. 1 shirt from his previous No. 12.
During a League One fixture at Swindon Town in November 2013, a spectator ran onto the pitch and aimed punches at Jones. Jones was unhurt, the match continued, and the perpetrator was arrested and later convicted.
Jones played in 179 games for Leyton Orient.
