The new deal with City lasts until the end of next season and is the perfect birthday present for the winger, who turned 20 last Saturday and who will now be helping the Gigg Lane outfit in their quest to climb up into League One.
James was part of the City Under 18 team that won the FA Youth Cup two years ago, and Shakers boss Alan Knill will be hoping he can help get Bury back on track for promotion after a recent run where they have dropped out of the automatic promotion places.
“Signing the contract extension is a big relief for me, as I wasn’t sure what was going to happen, so now I’m floating on air,” said James.
“I’m really pleased to be staying because all my family are City fans as well, and they are really proud of me. Both my grandmothers died recently and if I score for Bury I’m going to dedicate it to them.
Playing in League Two should give me some great experience, and I’d love to help Bury get promoted.
