About Reece James

Reece James (born 7 November 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays for EFL League One club Rotherham United. His usual position is as a left-back, but also occasionally plays in midfield.

After spending time as a youth player with Rossendale United, Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End, James followed his brother Matty to Manchester United in 2012; however, he failed to break into the first team, and after loan spells with Carlisle United, Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town, he made a permanent move to Wigan Athletic in 2015. After three years with Wigan, James joined Sunderland on a free transfer at the end of the 2017–18 season.
