James has had an extensive career in football, both as a player and a coach. Beginning at youth level with Ross Juniors, he progressed through the ranks, playing for Pegasus U17/18 and Hereford United U18. Transitioning to men's football, James played for Hereford Reserves, competed in the Hellenic Premier League with Pegasus, and later in the West Midlands Premier League with Westfields. 

Alongside his playing career, James has amassed over 20 years of coaching experience. He has worked with all age groups at Pegasus, including the first team, and has contributed to the development programs of Bristol Rovers, Cheltenham, and Hereford at various levels. With a UEFA B license under his belt, James brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to both the playing field and the coaching arena.
