James has been back training with the Owls for some time now, but a move to bring him on board always seemed a possibility given the club’s eagerness to find cover for first-choice left-back, Max Lowe.
The fact that the 32-year-old is a free agent also plays in his favour considering the restrictions that Wednesday are working with, as does his experience at this level and previous links to the club.
Journalist, Pete O’Rourke, reported on Thursday evening that the former Manchester United youngster had been offered a deal at Hillsborough, and it’s understood that there is now progress being made on getting something wrapped up.
The Wednesday Word is led to believe that James is set to earn himself a one-year deal back at Hillsborough following an impressive training stint at Middlewood Road, and that there aren’t expected to be any issues in terms of finalisation.
It could even be that James is on board in time to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening should things go well, and that game could provide the perfect opportunity for the full-back to get back into competitive action.

Good news, I like Reece and is not a fragile player so unlikely to be injured 🦉🦉🦉
