Jamie Soward (born 13 November 1984) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer, and the former head-coach of St. George Illawarra Dragons Women in the NRLW.

A New South Wales State of Origin and Indigenous All-Stars representative five-eighth, he previously played for the Sydney Roosters, Penrith Panthers and the St. George Illawarra Dragons, with whom he won the 2010 NRL Premiership.

He then moved to play with the Sydney Roosters Jersey Flegg side where he helped the club win the 2004 premiership with two last-ditch field goals.

[5] In round 17, against the Newcastle Knights at Hunter Stadium, Soward scored his first NRL career try in the Sydney Roosters 28–14 win.

Soward finished the 2006 NRL season with him playing in 14 matches, scoring four tries and kicking a goal for the Sydney Roosters.

Soward played in the 2006 NSW Cup grand final for Newtown who were the Sydney Roosters feeder club at the time against Parramatta.

[10] One week after he was released from the Sydney Roosters, Soward made his club début for the St. George Illawarra Dragons in round 12, playing against the Brisbane Broncos at Oki Jubilee Stadium.

[16] In round 7, during the annual Anzac day match, St. George Illawarra defeated Soward's previous club the Sydney Roosters 29–0 in which he scored 21 points.

[24] In round 22, against the Sydney Roosters at the SCG, Soward played his 100th NRL career match in the club's 19–12 win.

A three-day camp at Homebush from 21–23 January was coordinated by coach Ricky Stuart for players who he believed had potential to feature in future New South Wales Origin teams.

[31] On 15 May 2011, Soward was selected to represent the New South Wales Blues as a five-eighth against the Queensland Maroons in game one of the 2011 State of Origin series, at Suncorp Stadium.

Two weeks later, on 17 June 2013, Soward, after being denied a release to join Penrith by the St. George club, signed with the London Broncos in the Super League for the rest of the 2013 season after a falling out with Dragons coach Steve Price.

[38] In London, Soward scored 67 points in only nine games, as well as helping the team to the Challenge Cup semi-finals, where they lost 0–70 to Wigan.

[46] Following round 2 against the Gold Coast Titans in the Penrith club's 40-0 win at Bathurst, Soward had back surgery and missed a month and a half.

[47] When Soward returned in round 9, against the Brisbane Broncos in the club's 8-5 loss at Penrith Stadium,[48] he was inconsistent at best and, coupled with a spate of injuries, he and the Panthers struggled throughout the season.

[49] In early December, Soward gave himself a 12-month ultimatum: vowing to walk away from the game if he didn't return to his best in the 2016 season.

[51] In Round 10 of the 2016 NRL season, Soward scored a try and kicked five goals against the New Zealand Warriors in Penrith's 30-18 win, breaking his two-year try-scoring drought in what was one of his best solo performances in over a year.

In the sketch presented by Ryan on the show, Soward's face was superimposed on the black cat that ran onto Pepper Stadium.

[59] In 2020, he launched a podcast which he hosts called Sweet and Soward with semi-regular co-host Nick Davis and ‘The Dereks’ who make guest appearances.
