The ex-England Under-20 international started his career at Manchester United and rose up through the youth ranks at Old Trafford.

He never made a senior appearance for the Red Devils but enjoyed two campaigns out on loan at Preston North End.

James left United on a permanent basis in 2012 to join Leicester and has been on the books at the King Power Stadium since then.

However, they have released him and he will be weighing up his next move in the game.
