From Weston Super Mare, James joined Bristol City at the age of eight years-old, having also declined an offer to join Southampton. He progressed through the age-group teams at Bristol City, predominantly playing at right-back.[2]
James began to be included in Bristol City first-team match day squads in October 2023. Prior to his debut he received praise from manager Nigel Pearson who predicted he had “a bright future” and noted his “composure”.[3] He made his professional debut aged 17 years-old, on 25 October 2023, in the EFL Championship at home against Ipswich Town.[4][5] He made his first league start in the following fixture, away in the league against Cardiff City on 28 October 2023.[6][7] During the 2023-24 season he helped the Bristol City team make a deep run to the semifinals of the FA Youth Cup. He signed a two-year professional contract with the club in May 2024.[8]
