Sinbad joined Gloucester as a teenager and will go down as a legend of the club. His talent was clear even on his debut as he scored a superb individual try against Rotherham in 2001.
His England chances were limited due to injuries, and although he made his debut against the All Blacks in 2002, he only won 10 caps in total.
The winger scored a superb try against the Barbarians early in his international career where with some deft handling and footwork he rounded Jonah Lomu in front of a packed Twickenham crowd. One of the most electric and quickest players in the modern game, he was desperately unlucky to miss out on World Cup selection in 2003 and 2007.
2007-8 culminated in Sinbad claiming the Guinness Premiership Player of the Season and he finished as the club's top try scorer.
Sinbad continued to perform at a consistently high level through his testimonial season, and showed his commitment to Gloucester Rugby by signing a new contract in Spring 2011.
Was in similarly good form in 2012-13 and 2013-14 until suffering season ending injuries, both in the month of November, against Harlequins (AC joint) and Newcastle (ankle) respectively.
Sadly, the ankle injury proved to be too much to overcome, despite the best efforts of the Gloucester Rugby medical staff, and James sadly announced his retirement on September 2nd 2014.
