Clement Junior James (born 10 March 1981) is an English retired semi-professional footballer who made one appearance in the Football League for Brentford as a left winger. After his release in 2000, he embarked on a career in non-League football.

Career[edit]

Brentford[edit]

A left winger or forward,[3] James began his career in the youth system at Brentford and signed a one-year professional contract at the end of the 1998–99 season.[4] He made one appearance for the club, as a late substitute for Lloyd Owusu during a 1–0 Second Division defeat to Stoke City on 8 April 2000.[5] James was released in May 2000 and the 8 minutes he spent on the pitch on his debut makes his one of the shortest Brentford first team careers.[6][7]

Non-League football[edit]

James joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Slough Town on loan in August 2000 and returned to Arbour Park on a permanent basis in August 2001,[8] but suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in pre-season friendly versus Maidenhead United in 2002.[9] He reunited with his former Slough Town manager Steve Browne at Isthmian League First Division North club Boreham Wood in June 2003.[10] James followed Browne out of Meadow Park when Browne was sacked in January 2004.[11] He finished the 2003–04 season with Burnham,[12] before joining Hayes in time for the beginning of the 2004–05 season.[13] James scored one goal in four appearances before being released in September 2004 and after a brief spell with Hemel Hempstead Town,[14] he moved to Staines Town in February 2005.[15] He remained with Staines Town until 2008 and briefly played for Enfield Town, before moving to Kingstonian in early 2009.[16] He played seven games for the Ks before leaving on 27 July 2009.[17]
