James made his debut for Bedford against Doncaster Knights
The 6ft tall No.9 will make the step up to the Gallagher Premiership for the first time in his career after signing a deal with the Northampton Saints, having enjoyed spells with the Knights and Bedford Blues in the Championship, as well as Loughborough Students in National One.
