Leeds United man raring to go for 'massive' six weeks and Championship run-in as half-century in sight

The 26-year-old welcomed the birth of his second child last week before adding his 12th goal of the season in Leeds’ 2-0 victory over Millwall, celebrating as footballers often do with the customary thumb-sucking gesture.

It’ll be anything but child’s play for the next six weeks, though, starting with this evening’s meeting between Wales and Finland at the Cardiff City Stadium. Rob Page’s side joined up earlier this week, although James admitted he was hopeful of firstly spending a few days with his new arrival, to prepare for the encounter against club-mate Glen Kamara and his fellow Finns.
