In the 2014 summer James was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B. He made his senior debut on 24 August, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 home win against Valencia CF Mestalla.[3]

James made his professional debut on 21 November 2015, coming on as a half-time substitute for Thierry Moutinho in a 1–1 home draw against CD Lugo in the Segunda División.[4] On 24 June of the following year, he signed a new two-year deal with the club, but remained assigned to the B-side.[5]

On 22 August 2018, James was loaned to third division side CD Guijuelo, for one year.[6]
