Chambers could play in multiple positions but operated mainly at right-back during his time at the Walkers Stadium, which lasted just a year. No relation to young striker Ashley Chambers, James came through the youth ranks at West Brom and made his name with the Baggies before going on to play for Watford and Cardiff City.
He became a Fox in the summer of 2007, Martin Allen bringing him to the club, but the regularity of his performances were hit somewhat by the numerous managerial changes going on at the club at the time - Allen, the man who brought him to the club, didn't last long.
In total, he made 17 starts and ten substitute appearances and his spell at the club was cut-short when Doncaster Rovers came in for his services a year after his arrival., City duly let him make the move to the Keepmoat Stadium.
