Nick James played for Glamorgan between 2009 and 2013 during which time the left-handed batter and  left-arm spin bowler scored a couple of half centuries in first-class games, had a spell opening the batting in Championship matches and claiming 21 wickets in all formats.

Nick had enjoyed a brief trial with the Welsh county during 2009 following a spell on the staff of Warwickshire when he also played for England Under19s, besides appearing in one red-ball and eleven white-ball matches for the Birmingham-based club. He duly played in a couple of List A games for the Welsh county during September 2009 before signing for Glamorgan.

He continued to enjoy much success at 2^nd XI level, as shown during the final game of the 2013 season where Nick scored a match-winning century against Leicestershire 2^nd XI at the Diamond Ground in Cardiff. In 2011 Nick also made an imperious 234 – at the time the Club’s second highest individual innings – for Glamorgan 2^nd XI against their counterparts from Hampshire at the Rose Bowl Nursery.

In 2013 Nick was also in the Welsh county’s squad for their Yorkshire Bank40 semi-final against the Hampshire Royals as well as the final at Lord’s against the Notts Outlaws, but was released at the end of the season having not secured a regular place in either the Championship or one-day teams.
