Jamie Cureton (born 28 August 1975) is an English football coach and player who plays as a striker for Eastern Counties League Division One North club Kings Park Rangers, where he holds the role of player-manager.
Cureton began his career at Norwich City in 1994, and after the club's relegation from the Premier League, spent 21 seasons competing in The Football League, as well as one season at South Korean side Busan I'Cons in 2003. Subsequently, he has continued his career with several non-league clubs, including periods as a player-coach and player-manager.
One of the only eight English outfield footballers to have made over 1,000 competitive appearances, his career has spanned ten tiers of the football pyramid from the Premier League to the Eastern Counties Division One North, and has seen him score over 350 goals. He is the only player to have scored in the top 10 divisions of the English football pyramid.
Cureton's longest associations have been with Norwich City (five seasons), Bristol Rovers and Enfield (four seasons each). His 2022–23 Essex Senior Football League title with Enfield, as player-manager, is his only club trophy, though he has been part of five promotions and won the 2006–07 Football League Championship Golden Boot.
