Matthew James

Matthew ‘Titch’ James is the Vaders all time leading goalscorer and has been a permanent feature of the front line since the first ever Vaders game. Has established a lethal striking partnership with Ieuan Morris but has the ability to play alongside anyone.

He probably doesn’t pass enough, doesn’t train often enough and has a little pout now and then but is always good for a goal, no matter how well he’s playing. Has tried his hand at right back and midfield in some games, whilst also expressing a strange desire to play centre back or goalkeeper, but everyone knows, including himself, that the Vaders need him leading the line.

Skillful, deadly in front of goal and not afraid to mix it despite his size, his hard work and constant running sometimes goes under-appreciated, and can unfairly miss out on Man of the Match votes due to the expectation of him to score goals no matter what. There’s no danger of us allowing him to play in goal, but look out for him topping the scoring charts again this season.
