Jamal Blackman

Jamal Clint-Ross Blackman (born 27 October 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League One club Shrewsbury Town.

[12] He made his full debut on 23 September against Liverpool in the third round of the League Cup as Boro drew 2–2 after 120 minutes but lost 14–13 in the resulting penalty shoot-out; his save from Raheem Sterling's shot forced the shoot-out to sudden death, in which Blackman scored his penalty kick against opposition goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

[13] He did not feature again for the club and on 6 January 2015, following Mark Schwarzer's departure to Leicester City, Blackman was recalled from the Riverside Stadium by Chelsea to work as the third goalkeeper with the first-team squad behind Thibaut Courtois and Petr Čech.

[16] He made twelve appearances, keeping three clean sheets, during his ten weeks at the Jämtkraft Arena as Graham Potter's Östersund finished in eighth-place.

He was named as the club's Young Player of the Year and manager Gareth Ainsworth predicted that he would go on to play at the highest level.

[27] Blackman lost his place in the side to Moore after picking up a groin injury in December, but returned in a 2–1 win over Yorkshire rivals Leeds United on 10 February, pulling off a vital save from Pontus Jansson.

[30] With Blackman only being at the club on loan, manager Chris Wilder decided to play Moore in goal for the final five games of the season.

[32] On 16 July 2018, Blackman joined Championship side Leeds United on a season-long loan to compete with Bailey Peacock-Farrell for the starting goalkeeper position.

[46] He played 28 games during the 2020–21 relegation campaign as manager Paul Warne rotated between Blackman and Viktor Johansson at the New York Stadium.

[49] On 26 October, Blackman had his first clean sheet with LAFC during the club's 3–0 win over Seattle Sounders FC and was named man of the match by fans.

[51] Blackman returned to England and joined Championship side Huddersfield Town on 31 January 2022 on a deal until the end of the 2021–22 season.

[55] On 21 December 2024, Blackman joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a short-term deal following a short trial period.
