Jameson represented Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk (loan), St. Patrick's Athletic and Bohemians during his career.
He struggled, however, to gain regular first team football under John Giles and after only 5 appearances he moved to St Patrick's Athletic in 1978 where he began to establish himself as a player of some class.
He spent 3 seasons at Pats, reaching a FAI Cup Final in 1980 (losing to Waterford) before he joined Billy Young's Bohemians in 1981.
He played 303 competitive matches for Bohs after making his debut against Shelbourne on 30 August 1981 with his last game on 28 January 1990 against UCD.
