Jamie Maclaren is an Australian football (soccer) player who plays as a centre forward for A-League club Brisbane Roar. ==Club career== Jamie Maclaren grew up in the north-western suburbs of Melbourne. He first joined the junior side of local team Sunbury United at the early age of four or five, then switched to the youth ranks of nearby Victorian Premier League (now National Premier Leagues Victoria) side Green Gully in 2003, where although he continued to play against older players, his team was very successful, at one point winning around 50 games in a row. In July 2009, aged 15, he was invited to trial for Blackburn Rovers' U-16 squad. In his first trial match he scored two goals against Derby County's U-16 squad, followed by a hat-trick against Manchester United, which resulted in a contract offer from Rovers.〔(Young Victorian Signs for Blackburn Rovers ) Goal Weekly, June 16, 2010〕 Maclaren benefited from the mentorship of fellow Australians Vince Grella and Brett Emerton at Blackburn, where he soon progressed to be a regular U21 squad player and training with the senior team.〔(Getting to Know....Jamie Maclaren! ) Vital Football, 1 October 2012〕 However, after four years in England having not broken into the first team, he was released by Rovers at the end of the 2012/13 season.〔(Blackburn Rovers confirm released list ) Lancashire Telegraph, 4 June 2013〕 Seeking first-team game time, Maclaren elected to return to Australia and signed a three-year contract with A-League club Perth Glory at the beginning of the 2013/14 season.〔(Glory sign young gun Maclaren ) Shayne Hope, The West Australian, 2 July 2013〕 The 2014-15 season was his breakout year, scoring 10 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions, and earning the April nomination for the league's young player of the year award.〔(NAB Young Footballer of the Year nominee for April ) Football Federation Australia, 30 April 2015〕 He also made a number of appearances in the National Premier Leagues side scoring 11 goals in just 6 games.〔http://www.foxsportspulse.com/team_info.cgi?action=PSTATS&pID=200171187&client=1-10183-150900-296609-20397550〕〔https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/22877192/npl-maclaren-eyes-more-goals/〕〔http://www.perthglory.com.au/article/glory-end-the-npl-wa-season-in-style/1sq5uuxun742x1w6j144vb31dn〕〔http://www.perthglory.com.au/article/5-star-glory-salute-floreat/1c1nugs32zm1t1tpwmsgko3u7o〕 At the end of the 2014/15 season, in the fallout from the Perth Glory salary cap scandal, Glory agreed to release all contracted players who wished to leave the club, with the sole exception of Maclaren. In response, he lodged a formal breach-of-contract notice against Perth Glory to the players' Union, Professional Footballers Australia.〔(Jamie Maclaren in contract impasse with Perth Glory ) David Davutovic, Daily Telegraph, 30 May 2015〕〔(Maclaren in legal bid to quit Glory ) Dale Miller, The West Australian, 16 May, 2015〕 Maclaren was subsequently released by Glory on 29 June 2015.
