Jamie Curtis-Barrett (born 19 April 1984 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire) is an English snooker player.

Career

After playing snooker from the age of 11, Curtis-Barrett drifted away from the game after the death of his grandfather who had been a huge influence on his game. He began playing regularly again in the 2000s and earning a sponsor in 2009.[2]

As an amateur, he entered qualifying for both the 2015 Australian Goldfields Open and 2016 German Masters, losing in the first qualifying round of both tournaments.

Curtis-Barrett turned professional after finishing second on the 2016 Q School Order of Merit.[3] He won three matches in his opening season; defeating James Cahill 5–3 in Shanghai Masters qualifying before being eliminated by Jamie Jones; Matthew Selt 4–2 at the Northern Ireland Open before losing in the second round to David Gilbert; and a single frame encounter with Sam Baird in the Snooker Shoot-Out, where he was knocked out in the second round by eventual winner Anthony McGill. His season ended on a low note when he was whitewashed 10-0 by Jamie Jones in the first round of qualifying for the World Championship.[4]

Entry to the shoot out in 2018 was followed by a first round defeat to Zhang Yong.[5] He entered the 2018 Q School in a bid to win back his place on the world snooker tour, he won in the first round against Belgium's Hans Blanckaert.[6]
