Club career
James played for local side Guabito de Bocas but never in the ANAPROF league, since he spent most of his career in Honduras playing for Platense and Olimpia. He yielded a humorous goal to Wilmer Velásquez while playing for Platense in the 1998–99 season.
He retired aged 40, after winning a 5th Honduran league title with Olimpia.

His final international was an August 2004 FIFA World Cup qualification match against El Salvador.
