"Now I just want to enjoy every minute, have no regrets and get on the field as much as I can because I know I’ll score a few goals, that’s for sure. "This was the solid offer that I was waiting for and from a top club like Perth Glory, it was impossible to knock back," he said. James himself, meanwhile, is understandably relishing the opportunity to reignite his professional football ambitions with Glory.
"He will give us another exciting attacking option during what will be an intensive period with the games coming thick and fast." "A quick and versatile central striker with a proven goalscoring record, we believe he has the ability to play at a higher level and look forward to seeing him prove that in the coming weeks.
"Thomas is a player that we’ve been monitoring for some time," he said, "and we’ve given him this short-term deal with a view to it being extended should he impress when the season resumes. Having continued his prolific form in front of goal at Wollongong, James was linked with a number of Hyundai A-League clubs over the past 12 months and Glory Football Director Jacob Burns is delighted that the club have managed to secure the frontman’s services. London-born James was a part of the youth system at Nottingham Forest and played for Boston United in the UK before moving to Australia in 2015 and duly scoring a remarkable 80 goals in 83 games for Canberra FC in the NPL Capital Football competition. The 27-year-old, who scored 24 goals for Wollongong Wolves in the NPL NSW last season en route to claiming the competition’s Golden Boot and Player of the Year Award, has put pen to paper on a deal that will run through to the end of the current campaign. Perth Glory has confirmed that striker Thomas James has signed for the club.
