Angharad Jane James (born 1 June 1994) is a footballer who plays for the Welsh national women's team and FA WSL club Notts County Ladies. James plays as a central midfielder.

Club career

James was signed to Arsenal Ladies' Academy in 2010, after playing for Manorbier Ladies in her native Pembrokeshire.[2] Her first team debut for Arsenal came in the 6–0 home UEFA Women's Champions League win over Bobruichanka Bobruisk on 5 October 2011.[3] She substituted on for Gilly Flaherty after 63 minutes.[4]

Ahead of the 2012 FA WSL season, James signed for Bristol Academy from Arsenal Ladies along with Melissa Lawley .[5] She went on to make her Bristol Academy debut on 22 April 2014 as she came in for Molly Clarke in a 0–1 home defeat to Lincoln Ladies.[6]

James signed for Notts County Ladies F.C. from Bristol City W.F.C. in March 2016 ahead of the 2016 season.[7] She cited her desire to continue playing in WSL1 after Bristol's relegation to WSL2 as a main factor in her moving clubs. Bristol manager, Willie Kirk, said of James and her move, "You never want to lose top players, but following relegation it was inevitable that we would lose a few. Angharad played a big part in the club's successes over the past few seasons and at only 21 has bags of potential and can achieve a lot in the game...Angharad made her intentions to stay in WSL1 known to me very quickly so we have been planning for this for a while now."[8]

International career

James made her senior international debut, aged 17, as a late substitute in a 2–2 draw with Scotland in Edinburgh on 27 October 2011.[3]

In January 2012 James was named in the provisional Team GB squad for the 2012 Olympics.[9]
