AdminJordan James was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise miserable season for Leicester City.
While the Foxes struggled through a turbulent Championship campaign, the Welsh midfielder consistently delivered performances that earned the admiration of supporters at the King Power Stadium.
The former Birmingham City man quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his composure on the ball, intelligent passing and ability to influence matches in the final third.
Registering 15 goal involvements in a side that spent much of the season battling difficulties on and off the pitch was a notable achievement.
However, Leicester were unable to secure his services permanently. Financial constraints and the terms of his loan agreement meant James returned to his parent club, Stade Rennais, at the end of the campaign.
His displays have since attracted attention from a number of clubs across the Premier League and Championship.
“Jordan James is talking about the “chaos” of his last two seasons, playing under multiple different managers and through a points deduction with relegated Leicester City”
Speaking to Independent, the 21-year-old reflected on the uncertainty that surrounded Leicester throughout the season.
“We just had to sort of focus on what we’re able to control. We obviously knew what was going on, and the players started to get a little bit anxious, which is normal.”
James also praised Leicester supporters and admitted he developed a strong connection with the club.
Despite the challenges, he believes the season helped his development and revealed he had come to “love the club and the fans”.
