Shot-stopper joins from Lincoln City.

Oxford City are delighted to announce the signing of Goalkeeper Jamie Pardington on loan from Sky Bet League One side Lincoln City. 

The 6ft 5in shot-stopper links up with The Hoops ahead of this afternoon’s clash with Marine in Enterprise National League North and will go straight into the squad for today’s fixture. 

Pardington comes with prior experience in ENLN, after impressing during the earlier part of this season with AFC Telford and bolsters the Goalkeepering department at The MGroup Stadium after Sam Lewis sustained an injury. 

The 25-year-old ‘keeper also turned out for Peterborough Sports last season, and also has the likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Grimsby Town, Larne & Cheltenham Town on a growing CV. 

Oxford City Manager Ross Jenkins said: "We’re delighted to get Jamie on board with us and I’m sure he will fit into the group nicely.

“He’s a good size which is key for this division. At 25 he’s gained vital experience at various levels so it wont be a shock to him.

“Everyone at Lincoln speaks highly of Jamie so we’re looking forward to working with him on and off the pitch.”

Hailing from Walsall, the 6ft 5in tall shot-stopper joined Wolverhampton Wanderers having been spotted at his first club, Rushall Olympic. 

Jamie spent three seasons at the Premier League club, having several loan spells before making the switch to Grimsby Town when his contract at Molineux wasn’t extended.

A short spell at Larne FC of Northern Ireland was followed by a return to England, at Cheltenham Town. 



Jamie was loaned to Truro City, then of the National League South, and although he made his EFL debut for the Robins on the final day of the 2023-24 season, he was not retained.

Jamie’s current club, Lincoln City, offered him a two-year deal in June 2024. Although his first-team opportunities have been limited, he did enjoy a loan spell with Peterborough Sports towards the end of last season.

We’d like to thank Lincoln City for facilitating this loan move. 

Welcome to Oxford City, Jamie.
