Kevin James

Kevin Ernest James (born 3 January 1980 in Southwark) is an English footballer, who last played for Isthmian League Premier Division club Dulwich Hamlet. Career James was initially a Charlton trainee, but was released at the age of 20, joining Gillingham. Here he showed promise, and after four years he moved on to Nottingham Forest in 2004. However, his time at Forest was not successful and he made few appearances for the club. In the 2004-05 season he was loaned out to Boston United, and the following season was loaned to Walsall. At Walsall he scored on his debut in an FA Cup tie against Barnsley, and scored again as Walsall won the subsequent replay. James' FA Cup scoring form continued when he scored in the next round against Stoke City. He scored his fourth and final goal for Walsall, and his only league goal for the club, in a 2-2 draw with Bradford City on 25 March 2006. In 2006-07 he was loaned out three times to Yeovil Town, Grimsby Town and Swindon Town, without scoring during any of those loan spells.
