The Glovers accepted an undisclosed bid for the 22-year-old from the Baggies, but the Welshman failed to agree terms with the Championship outfit. 

The Wales Under-21 international has made 54 appearances for Town in an 18-month stay, including 51 impressive outings during the 2017/18 campaign which ended with James winning a host of end of season awards. 

Joining the Glovers from Cardiff City in January 2017, the versatile defender will remain at the club and part of manager Darren Way’s plans for the forthcoming 2018/19 campaign.
