He attended Ashton Park School in the Ashton Gate area of Bristol. He was a member of Southampton's youth team that reached the final of the FA Youth Cup in 2005, losing on aggregate to Ipswich Town.
He made his debut for the Wales under-21 team against Cyprus U21s on 15 November 2005.
He was called into the first team squad for the FA Cup tie at Torquay United on 6 January 2007. On 9 August 2008, James started in Southampton's match against Cardiff City.
He scored his first goal in a 3–1 victory over Exeter City on Boxing Day, 2009.[2] He scored his second goal with a 20 yard volley in a 1–1 draw with Brentford. On 15 May 2010, James was named in a list of 13 players to be released from Southampton before the start of the 2010–11 season.[3][4]
Colchester United manager John Ward then offered him a trial for at least two weeks. James played in three games impressing enough to be offered a contract.[5] The two-year deal was finalised on 22 July.[6]
