James Ball (born 1 December 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League Two club Stevenage.

Ball started his career at Bolton Wanderers. During his time at Bolton, he was loaned out to Conference North club Hyde United on a work experience loan at the start of the 2014–15 season. Following his release from Bolton in May 2015, Ball spent the following season at Northwich Victoria. He joined National League North club Stalybridge Celtic ahead of the 2016–17 season before signing for Stockport County a month later in September 2016. After two seasons at Stockport, Ball signed for Stevenage in May 2018.

Career

Early career

Ball began his career at hometown club Bolton Wanderers and is a product of the club's academy.[3] At the start of the 2014–15 season, he was sent on a work experience loan to Conference North club Hyde United.[3] Ball made his debut for Hyde in the club's 3–2 away loss to Bradford Park Avenue on 25 August 2014,[4] and went on to make five appearances during the one-month loan spell.[5] Ball returned to Bolton following the conclusion of the work experience loan, but did not many any first-team appearances for the club.[2] He was released by Bolton in May 2015,[6] subsequently joining Northwich Victoria for the 2015–16 season.[7]

After a full season at Northwich, Ball joined National League North club Stalybridge Celtic on a free transfer ahead of the 2016–17 season.[8] He made his debut on the opening day of the campaign, playing the whole match in a 1–0 away victory over Boston United.[8][9] During the short spell at Stalybridge, spanning a month, Ball made six appearances, scoring his only goal for Stalybridge in the club's 3–1 home loss to Stockport County on 9 August 2016.[8][10]

Stockport County

Having scored against Stockport County a month earlier, Ball signed for the club on 6 September 2016.[11] Ball had played under Stockport manager Jim Gannon at Northwich the previous season.[12] He made his Stockport debut a day later, in a 2–1 away defeat to Darlington, scoring the club's goal in the match.[13] In March 2017, Ball signed a new two-year contract extension with the club,[12] with Gannon stating he believes Ball has all of the attributes to become a Football League player.[12] He played regularly during the season, making 37 appearances in all competitions and scoring seven times,[11] as Stockport narrowly missed out on a place in the National League North play-offs by a point.[14]

Contracted to Stockport for the 2017–18 season, Ball remained a regular fixture in the centre of midfield for the club throughout the campaign.[11] He scored his first goal of the season in a 6–0 victory over Southport at Edgeley Park on 5 September 2017.[11][15] He ended the campaign by scoring seven times in the club's final eleven fixtures.[11] This included a brace in a 4–0 win against Leamington,[16] as well as a 94th-minute winner in a 3–2 victory over Bradford Park Avenue a week later to help Stockport secure their place in the National League North play-offs courtesy of a fifth-place finish.[17][18] Ball made 48 appearances in all competitions during the campaign, scoring 11 goals, as Stockport were defeated at the qualifying round stage of the play-offs.[11]

Stevenage

Ball signed for League Two club Stevenage on 9 May 2018, joining for an undisclosed five-figure fee.[19] Whilst managing Nuneaton Town, Stevenage manager Dino Maamria recommended Ball to Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace in December 2017, describing him as one of the best players in non-league football.[20] Maamria subsequently made Ball his first signing for the club.[20] Ball made his Stevenage debut in the club's opening match of the 2018–19 season, scoring the first goal of the match in an eventual 2–2 draw with Tranmere Rovers at Broadhall Way.[21]

Style of play

Ball was initially a defender during his time at Bolton Wanderers' academy and was played in central defence on loan at Hyde United.[3][5] He moved further up the pitch to play in central midfield during his time at Northwich Victoria and has remained there since.[2][11] On signing for Stevenage, manager Dino Maamria described Ball as "big, strong, box-to-box, can cover a lot of ground and can score goals from midfield".[20]
