Jamie Wayne Attwell (born June 8, 1982) is an English football goalkeeper. He represented Wales at junior level. He was born in Bristol.

Attwell began his career as a trainee with Tottenham Hotspur, but failed to make the grade and joined Bristol City in August 2001 as cover for Steve Phillips and Mike Stowell. He failed to make the first team with City and joined Tiverton Town on loan in March 2002,^[1] before moving to Torquay United on a free transfer in July 2002. He made his league debut in place of the injured Kevin Dearden on August 17, 2002 in a 4-3 defeat away to York City. His next game came on October 22, 2002, a 4-0 defeat in the Football League Trophy at home to Wycombe Wanderers, followed 4 days later by a 5-1 defeat away to Scunthorpe United.

He was dropped after the Scunthorpe game, but on the 29th of October played in the 4-0 home win against Bournemouth, replacing Dearden as a substitute with the game still at 0-0. He made one further appearance for Torquay, on the 19th of November, as a half-time substitute for Arjan van Heusden in the 2-2 draw at home to Kidderminster Harriers, a game Torquay were leading 2-0 when he came on, before being released a week later. He had conceded 15 goals in the equivalent of less than four games.

He played for Tiverton Town later that season and in July 2002 was on trial at Tranmere Rovers.^[2]^[3]
