James has received his second international call, having been forced to pull out of Paul Fairclough's squad earlier this season.

While not his best campaign for goals, James has proved popular with Pools fans for his excellent work rate in the final third.

James, who missed last weekend's defeat to Bromley with a hamstring problem, has scored just twice since returning to Pools for a third spell.

England C take on their Welsh counterparts at Salford City’s Peninsula Stadium on Tuesday, March 19.

The game is sandwiched in between Pools' trip to Barnet and their home clash with current National League leaders Wrexham.

Fairclough has named a 16-man squad, with the group set to meet up in Manchester after club fixtures on Saturday, March 16.
