Jamie Thomas Proctor (born 25 March 1992) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League North club Southport.

Proctor began his career at hometown club Preston North End, turning professional in January 2010 and making his first-team debut four months later.

He spent four seasons with Rotherham without establishing himself in the first team after rupturing his knee ligaments at the start of the 2017–18 campaign and instead enjoyed loan spells with Scunthorpe United, AFC Fylde, Newport County and Wigan Athletic.

[3][4][5] He scored 15 goals at youth-team level in the 2008–09 season and was part of an under-18 side that knocked Manchester City and Sunderland out of the FA Youth Cup the following year.

[7] Manager Darren Ferguson handed Proctor his professional début on the last day of the 2009–10 Championship season, when he came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Chris Brown in a 4–1 defeat to Reading at the Madejski Stadium on 2 May 2010.

[9] Having impressed manager Paul Simpson during training, he made his debut the next day, coming on as a 61st-minute substitute for Danny Rowe in a 0–0 draw with Wycombe Wanderers at Edgeley Park.

[13] He made seven appearances for the "Hatters", before returning to Preston after Simpson claimed that Stockport's dire financial situation meant "we've had to let him go for the sake of a couple of hundred quid".

[19] On 18 August 2012, Proctor signed a two-year contract with Premier League club Swansea City, who paid Preston an undisclosed fee.

[23][5] On 26 October 2012, Proctor joined League One club Shrewsbury Town on a month-long loan, with manager Graham Turner looking for a "good option" up front.

[19] Speaking in November 2013, Proctor said he was shocked that the "Red Devils" decided to sack manager Richie Barker following a run of bad results.

[33] He scored on his debut for the "Cod Army" after coming off the bench in a 2–1 win over Crewe Alexandra at Highbury Stadium on 9 August, earning praise from manager Graham Alexander for his fighting spirit.

[36] New manager Steven Pressley, appointed in October 2015, looked to focus on pace over power, which led Proctor to struggle for first-team starts.

[37] Proctor joined Bradford City on a one-month loan on 22 January 2016 as part of the transfer deal that saw Devante Cole move to Fleetwood for an undisclosed fee.

[41] On 20 May, Proctor scored the equalising goal in the play-off semi-final second leg with Millwall; the game ended 1–1 and Bradford lost the tie 4–2 on aggregate.

[46] Manager Keith Curle described the hectic race to bring Proctor to Brunton Park on deadline day, which saw Carlisle overcome an attempt from Portsmouth to sign the striker.

[64] Speaking in September 2020, Proctor said he had suffered "the worst three years you could imagine for a player" and admitted that "when I have played I haven't been good enough" but hoped to regain the trust of manager Paul Warne after fully recovering from his knee injury.

[73] He enjoyed a strong start to the 2021–22 season, scoring five goals in his first seven games, including braces at Forest Green Rovers and at home to Rochdale.

[76] He returned to action with a substitute appearance at the end of November but aggravated the stomach injury when he collided with the opposition goalkeeper and had to undergo another operation on a thigh and pelvic tendon.

[77] He returned to action in mid-February and formed a strong partnership with James Wilson; former "Valiant" striker Tom Pope praised both players for their intelligence.

[84][81][85] Proctor struggled with a hip injury during his five appearances at the start of the 2022–23 season and manager Darrell Clarke confirmed in September that he had been ruled out of action for a few months after undergoing an operation.

[103] In November 2019, he made a plea in the Rotherham Advertiser for charities to contact him with voluntary work opportunities after he watched a documentary on food banks.
