Blues boss Andy Awford said: “James is a player that I’ve admired for the last 18 months and enjoyed a very successful spell in Scotland last season.
“I’ve watched him play on a few occasions and am delighted that he’s agreed to join us – especially as there were clubs from higher leagues interested in him.
