Jay joined Notts County on loan from Championship side Southend United in November 2006, adding strength and depth to the Magpies squad ahead of the festive period and he impressed greatly in the middle of the park during his two months at Meadow Lane - and he later joined the Club on a permanent basis in January 2007.
After years of frustrating injuries at Roots Hall, Jay has made it clear he was keen to get his career back on track at Meadow Lane.
He joined Southend from Aston Villa where he was a trainee in 2002, and he bagged his first ever career goal on his home debut days later against Cambridge United.
He later linked up with Southend on a permanent basis, but soon suffered a string of injuries before recovering in 2005 and having a short spell at Oxford prior to joining the Magpies.
He scored a number of goals from midfield during the season, as well as showing off his impressive passing abilities and vision which have made him a key player.
