Monday James (born 19 October 1986) is a Nigerian former professional footballer who played as a defender.
Club career
James began his career with Bendel Insurance before being transferred to Bayelsa United in January 2006.
He went on a five-month loan to Swedish club Hammarby IF in November 2008 after a couple of games with the club, where there is a clause in the loan that gives Hammarby the option to buy him when the loan ends.[1][2] On 7 June 2009 Hammarby IF reported that they would buy James and he would be given a four-year contract.[3]
As of June 2010, James has been out of play for almost a year, due to a misunderstanding with the club doctors claiming he has a heart condition while he was 100 percent healthy, he did not sustain any injury that prevented him from playing.[4]
29 June 2011, James extended his contract with Hammarby IF for another two years, playing 17 games in 2011, 6 games in 2012 and played 15 games in 2013.[5]
International career
He represented his country at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was part of the Nigerian team during the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.
