A pacy and direct winger, Jamal originally joined ‘74 at the start of last season and due to a preseason injury, he didn’t make his competitive debut until later in the season. But midway through the campaign opted to join Runcorn Linnets. After making 18 appearances, 11 of which were from the bench he made the return trip to Townfield. Now aged 26, Jamal started his career as a junior with Burnley and after a short stop playing in Wales for Llandudno, he returned to England and went onto appear for a number of clubs, including FC United, Chester, Hyde United, Curzon Ashton, Bamber Bridge, Glossop, Trafford and Widnes.
