[edit] Leicester City

Wesolowski played for Australian side Northern Spirit before signing for Leicester City in 2002. After showing a lot of potential in the reserves, James played for Leicester in a pre-season friendly against Celtic in 2005, but suffered a broken leg due to a challenge from Bobo Balde.[4] He underwent surgery on the leg but the injury sidelined him until the start of 2006. Wesolowski returned and impressed for the Leicester first team, making his debut at home to Cardiff City in January 2006. However, after only five appearances, he broke his same leg against Brighton in February.[5] He recovered in time for the start of the 2006-07 season, although a thigh injury kept him out of the side for the first month.

The departure of Joey Guðjónsson gave Wesolowski the opportunity to become a first team regular, although he still faced stiff competition from then-teammates Stephen Hughes and Andy Johnson for the central midfield spot. He scored his first senior goal in a 4-3 FA Cup defeat to Fulham on 17 January 2007.[6] Wesolowski played a total of 19 league games, helping Leicester survive relegation.

In July 2007, Wesolowski agreed to a contract extension with Leicester that would see him remain at the club until 2011.[7] He scored his second goal of his career in a 1-0 League Cup win over Accrington Stanley on 14 August 2007,[8] before being sidelined for six weeks with a hamstring injury on 18 September in a 3–2 League Cup win over Nottingham Forest.[9] Wesolowski had more hamstring problems following recovery, and he was injured again on 8 December in a 2–1 defeat to West Brom, sidelining him until Christmas.[10] Despite playing a total of 22 league games, Wesolowski could not prevent Leicester from being relegated at the end of the 2007-08 season.

Wesolowski lost his place in the first team the following season, playing just four cup matches. On 2 October 2008, he joined Cheltenham Town on a three-month loan deal, linking up with former Leicester manager Martin Allen and fellow loanee Barry Hayles, with the option of being recalled after the first month.[11] His loan ended early after suffering a fractured ankle in a 2-0 away defeat to Tranmere Rovers in October.[12] On February 2, 2009, Wesolowski joined Dundee United on loan for the remainder of the 2008-09 season,[13] with the option of making the deal permanent.[14] He made his debut in a 1–0 home defeat to Hearts, playing for 65 minutes before being substituted.[15] After featuring in every match since arriving, Wesolowski suffered a hamstring injury in early May, ending his season.

[edit] International

Wesolowski received international acclaim at the end of the 2004-05 season after competing for Australia in the FIFA World Youth Championship and was labelled "a star in the making" by the Australian Football Federation.[16] James was called up to the Australian national team on his 19th birthday for the 2007 Asian Cup qualifier against Kuwait, but was withdrawn from the squad days later after consultation with medical staff from both parties 'on precautionary grounds'. On 6 November 2007, he was called up to the national team for a friendly match against Nigeria on 17 November,[17] but was an unused substitute as Australia won 1–0.
