Jason Peake (born 29 September 1971) is an English retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Born in Leicester, Peake made his professional first team debut for his hometown club, Leicester City in 1990.[2] He spent time on loan with Hartlepool United in 1992 before joining Halifax Town later that year. Two years later, he was signed by Rochdale and spent a productive two years there, scoring six goals in 95 league games. One year spells with Brighton & Hove Albion and Bury followed, before Peake returned to Rochdale. He scored another 11 goals in 81 league appearances, but couldn't agree a new contract in the summer of 2000.
He was then signed by Kevin Hodges for Plymouth Argyle.[3] His time with the Devon club was short-lived as he fell out of favour following the arrival of Paul Sturrock as the club's new manager.[4] He scored three goals in 13 appearances, including one in a man of the match performance against Carlisle United,[5] before being allowed to join non-league club Nuneaton Borough in December 2000. He signed for them permanently at the end of the 2000–01 season.[6] Peake was an influential member of the squad in his first season with the club,[7] but endured an injury-plagued 2002–03 season at Manor Park. He was released from his contract in April 2003.[8]
