Unable to break into the senior team at Arsenal, as a youngster James Harper joined Cardiff City on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.
No deal could be reached and he returned to Arsenal before moving on to Reading shortly afterwards.
Jamie went straight into the Royals' first team and quickly justified his substantial transfer fee by scoring a superb goal on his debut against Rotherham United.
A talented midfielder who plays with an assured arrogance and determination, James agreed a new three-year contract with Reading in June 2003 that was extended to June 2008 in March 2006 and to June 2010 in July 2007.
He joined Hull City in August 2010 with a two-year contract.
James joined Doncaster Rovers in August 2012 with a one-year contract.
