Unlike his father, who earned 38 caps for England, James may now represent Malta internationally.
Reports from the Times of Malta suggest his citizenship was granted through his Maltese mother and grandfather.
This opens the door for James to switch his international allegiance to Malta.
The decision could boost his chances of earning regular international caps.
