James is a mobile defender who was solid in the juniors and moved into the reserves. He is commanding on the pitch and marshalls the side from the back. He is now in contract with the Eagles and is stepping up to the next level due to his poise. Due to the policy of giving the younger members a shot at the "big time" James has proved that he is more than capable at this level, and it will not be long before he commands a place permanently in the team.
