Jamie McCombe (born 1 January 1983) is an English footballer who plays as a defender 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 2½-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.
