James to train with Dolphins
WEST HAM'S England international keeper David James will travel to America next week to train with NFL team Miami Dolphins.
The veteran shot-stopper, formerly of Aston Vila and Liverpool, has accepted an invitation from The Dolphins to attend their training camp on June 24.
James will undertake a crash course with the team's players in three of the positions he might be most suited to - quarterback, wide receiver and kicker.
"I am delighted to have been invited - it's a great opportunity to learn about more about the sport, and put myself up against some of the best athletes in the world," James said.
"American Football has always shown the way forward in terms of conditioning and performance and I am keen to apply any tips or insights that I can gain to my career as a professional footballer."
