Jamie Hand (born 7 February 1984) is an English former professional footballer and scout. A "tough-tackling, no-nonsense" midfielder, he made around 400 appearances in a 14-year football career and played in the English Football League (First Division and League Two), Scottish Premier League, Isthmian League, Conference (Premier, North and South), Southern League and Northern Premier League.
He began his career at Watford, making his first-team debut in January 2002 and winning the club's Young Player of the Year award in 2002–03. However, he dropped out of the first team in the 2004–05 season and had brief loan spells at Oxford United, Livingston and Peterborough United, before he joined Fisher Athletic in February 2006 to facilitate a loan move to Northampton Town, who he helped to win promotion out of League Two in 2005–06. He joined Chester City in May 2006 before he moved on to Lincoln City in August 2007. He returned to Oxford United before his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in May 2008.
After leaving Lincoln, he embarked on an extensive career in non-League football, firstly joining Ebbsfleet United in August 2008. He then played for Chelmsford City and Woking before signing with Hayes & Yeading United in August 2010, who he would later captain. He joined Luton Town on loan in September 2011 but was fined The Football Association in April 2012 after insulting Luton fans on Twitter. He quit Hayes over a row about club fines the following month. He signed with Mansfield Town in July 2012, who in turn loaned him out to Eastleigh, Hayes & Yeading United and Margate. He joined Stockport County in July 2013 and then had a loan spell at Southport. He signed with Farnborough in December 2014 and later had brief spells in caretaker charge at Northwood and playing at Warrington Town before he became a scout.
Playing career
=Watford=
Born in Uxbridge, London, Hand started his career at Watford. He made his first-team debut for the "Hornets" on 5 January 2002, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute for Paolo Vernazza in a 4–2 defeat to Arsenal at Vicarage Road.{{cite news|title=Arsenal outgun Watford|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1735068.stm|accessdate=25 December 2017|work=BBC Sport|date=5 January 2002}} He got his first start in the First Division on 31 January, in a 1–1 draw at Preston North End.{{cite news|title=Watford hold Preston|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/1791328.stm|accessdate=25 December 2017|work=BBC Sport|date=31 January 2002}} He played a total of 11 games in the second half of the 2001–02 season, though was sometimes played out of position by manager Gianluca Vialli.{{cite web|last1=Peter|first1=Michael|title=Blind, Stupid and Desperate - Watford FC site - Jamie Hand|url=http://www.bsad.org/colinwho/hand1.html|website=www.bsad.org|accessdate=25 December 2017}}
Despite an over-abundance of central midfielders for manager Ray Lewington to choose from at the club, Hand featured 25 times throughout the 2002–03 season, picking up nine bookings as well as the club's Young Player of the Year award.{{cite web|last1=Grant|first1=Ian|title=Blind, Stupid and Desperate - Watford FC site - Jamie Hand|url=http://www.bsad.org/colinwho/hand2.html|website=www.bsad.org|accessdate=25 December 2017}} He again made 25 appearances throughout the 2003–04 campaign, though injuries helped to ensure that he slipped down the first-team pecking order behind players such as Gavin Mahon, and he disappeared from matchday squads entirely under new boss Aidy Boothroyd.{{cite web|last1=Bradshaw|first1=Pete|title=Blind, Stupid and Desperate - Watford FC site - Jamie Hand|url=http://www.bsad.org/colinwho/hand.html|website=www.bsad.org|accessdate=25 December 2017}} He later commented that: "Lewington always wanted more experience in his midfield. He would play me for two or three games and then leave me out because I was young, but I think it did me more harm than good."{{cite news|title=Fate deals Jamie a kind Hand as Lions set out on cup trail|url=https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/competitions/premiership/fate-deals-jamie-a-kind-hand-as-lions-set-out-on-cup-trail-1-957353|accessdate=25 December 2017|work=The Scotsman|date=7 January 2005|language=en}}
