At 35 years old and having played in Greece during the 2022–23 season, when he wore the Olympiacos jersey, James is a free agent following his stint in the U.S. and the MLS with the Minnesota team, for which he played in only 8 games, from last February through July.
After his stint with the Piraeus club, he also played in Brazil (São Paulo), Spain (Rayo Vallecano), and Mexico (León), and took part in this year’s World Cup with the Colombian national team, and it appears he will continue his career with Avellino, which plays in the second division of Italian soccer.
