Paul James signed for Bath Rugby from the Ospreys in time for the 2012/13 season.

A very solid and technically sound scrummager, Paul made his debut for Wales in 2003 and has most recently been seen donning the Red jersey as part of the 2013 RBS 6 Nations Championship winning squad.

The powerful loosehead prop, who can also play on the tighthead side of the scrum, made over 170 appearances in his time at Ospreys, a record for the region, and scored seven tries. He also captained the side who beat Australia in 2006.

James also has representative honours at Wales Youth, U19 and U21 levels.
