Exclusive interview: The making of Daniel James
In the 21-year-old's biggest interview to date, published in the October 2019 edition of Inside United magazine, our summer signing speaks candidly about the moment he almost left the Hull City Academy in order to spend more time playing football with his friends.
Luckily for Reds supporters, Daniel’s mind was thankfully changed and he went on to ascend the youth ranks in East Yorkshire before completing a move to Swansea City. His performances with the Championship club caught the eye of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the rest, as they say, is history.
Looking back on his seven years in the Hull Academy and how that education developed his game, James openly admits he almost called it a day.
