Career

Chandler was born in South Shields[1] and was brought up in Boldon.[3] He began his career at Sunderland, and while with that club was capped several times by England at levels from under-16 to under-19.[4] He signed his first professional contract in 2007, after recovering from a broken leg.[2]

He was loaned to Football League Two club Darlington in August 2009 to gain first-team experience, and made his debut in the Football League on 8 August against Aldershot Town coming on as a substitute.[5] He made his first start two days later against Leeds United in the League Cup.[6] He returned to Sunderland in November 2009.[7]

At the end of the 2009–10 season, Chandler's contract with Sunderland expired. He signed a two-year deal with Darlington, recently relegated to the Conference Premier.[8] He scored his first goal for his new side against Forest Green Rovers on 11 September 2010.[9] Chandler was named man of the match as Darlington beat Mansfield Town in the 2011 FA Trophy Final,[10] and also won the club's Young Player of the Year award.[11]

On 13 January 2012, Chandler signed for Gateshead, along with Liam Hatch, for a nominal fee.[12] He made his debut the following day, scoring in a 2–2 draw against Braintree Town in the FA Trophy.[13] He agreed a new one-year contract with the club in May 2012 to cover the 2012–13 season.[14] On 6 July 2012, Chandler was named vice-captain at Gateshead following the departure of Kris Gate.[15] On 28 March 2016, it was announced that Chandler would leave Gateshead at the end of the 2015–16 season.[16]

On the 30th of June 2016, Jamie joined National League North side Spennymoor Town on a free transfer. He scored his first goal for the club during the 2017–2018 season, and has been a regular starter for the club since 2017.[17]
