David James joins Cherries for training

Former England, Liverpool, Man City and Portsmouth 'keeper David James has joined the AFC Bournemouth squad for training.

James started his career with Watford in 1988 making 98 appearances, before a £1million move to Liverpool followed in 1992. He spent 7 years on Merseyside winning the League Cup in 1995 and making his first England appearance in 1997. Overall he made 280 appearances for Liverpool.

A move to Aston Villa for £1.7million followed in 1999 and after two seasons and 85 appearances he moved to West Ham for £3.5million. Three years and 102 appearances at Upton Park followed before a £2million move Manchester City. Once again he spent two years there making 100 appearances before a £1.2million move to Pompey.

During his time at Fratton Park he worked with both Cherries 'advisor' Harry Redknapp and Cherries manager Paul Groves, winning the FA Cup in 2008. He made 158 appearances over four years with Portsmouth and remained a regular in the England team winning 53 caps.

He eventually moved on to Bristol City in 2010 where he made a further 84 appearances, bringing his career total to a massive 960 appearances for clubs and country.

The 42 year old is a free agent after being released by Bristol City at the end of last season and had previously been training with League Two side Exeter City to remain fit.

James arrived at the Goldsands Stadium this (Thursday) morning and could sign for the club in time for Saturday's game against Walsall.

The sinking ship just got heavier.

Really? I highly doubt he's worse than Jalal.
Will-AFCB
the test to see whether he gets a contract is to take 20 penalties against him and if he saves even 1 then the job is his :-)

This guy is in incredible shape for his age and a great athlete, plus I am a huge fan.
cows-go-moo
think he will be a great leader and an influence on and off the pitch great experience and cant be worse than jalal, jalal s awful if u ask me and needs to be playing in lge 2 he loves to let in soft goals and is probably the worst at penalties ive ever seen doesnt look passionate enough and too quiet!!

At least its not another striker!!! Good signing in truth due to Flahavan being out, give him a contract till the end of season.
