In the 2001-2 season he unleashed his talents on the WSA Open Tour, with such success that he qualified for a Main Tour place for the 2002-3 season.

Known as "Shotgun" for his speed around the table, if Cope fulfils the promise shown as a junior, he could go far in the professional ranks.

Away from snooker he enjoys watching The Simpsons and his favourite meal is chicken and chips. Jamie is also an accomplished footballer. At the ripe old age of fourteen he had to make the decision between football and snooker and chose snooker.

During his first season on he WSA Main Tour Cope safely secured his place for the 2003-4 season
