Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Santos joined the youth setup of Sporting de Gijón in 2002.[2] On 24 August 2014, he made his debut for the reserves, coming on as a substitute for Juan Mera in a 3–1 defeat against Real Oviedo, in Segunda División B.

Jaime did not score but was impressive with his performance in front of a sell-out crowd. Jaime got his first goal in the very next match against Churchill Brothers S.C. when he volleyed in a Lalrindika Ralte's corner from outside the box to the bottom corner to equalize the match.
On 27 January 2019, Jaime Santos scored the opening goal in the return leg of the Kolkata Derby which East Bengal FC won 2–0, hence completing a double over their arch-rivals Mohun Bagan since 2003–04.
