Kind of fell out of favor around that time....

Out of favour at Norwich during the autumn of 2008, Cureton asked to go out on loan to get some first team fitness. On 27th November 2008, he was loaned to Barnsley for three months, although Norwich can recall him within 24hrs after 28days. He made his debut in the 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on 29th November 2008. Akthough ineligible for Barnsley's match at Carrow Road on 17th January 2009, Norwich recalled Cureton on 14th January 2009 shortly after the sacking of Glenn Roeder.

Falling out of manager Paul Lambert's plans in the autumn / winter 2009, speculation was rife that Cureton would be off-loaded in the January 2010 transfer window and on 4th January, Cheltenham manager Mark Yates was rumoured to have Cureton on his wish-list whilst Gillingham were also linked. Instead Jamie signed for Shrewsbury on 17th February 2010 on loan until the end of the 2009/10 season. He returned on 6th May 2010 having played 12 games for the Shrews but without scoring.

On 14th May 2010, Norwich announced that they would not be renewing Jamie's contract that was due to expire at the end of the 2009/10 season. He had made 8 appearances, scoring twice during 2009/10
