Wales international winger James played a key role in helping Daniel Farke's Whites to promotion as 2024-25 Championship champions, supplying 12 goals and nine assists from 36 matches played.

The 27-year-old's displays saw him voted by supporters as the club's Player of the Season and also named in the EFL's official Championship team of the year.

The winger's existing Leeds contract only ran until the summer of 2026 but James has now put pen to paper on a new four-year deal which runs until the summer of 2029.
