James Andrew Husband (born 3 January 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back or a centre-back for EFL League One club Blackpool.
[citation needed] He signed his first professional contract in November 2011, on a 2+1⁄2-year deal after reported interest from Premier League clubs.
[3] He made his first-team debut on 17 April 2012 in a goalless draw with Middlesbrough, coming on as a second-half substitute for Shelton Martis.
Husband scored his first goal of the 2013–14 season on 16 August, when his overhit cross went over the head of Blackburn Rovers's goalkeeper to complete a 2–0 victory.
On 26 July 2014 it was announced that James Husband would join Championship side Middlesbrough in a swap deal for Curtis Main.
He made his début as a substitute in the 2–2 draw against Reading in the FA Cup third-round match at the John Smith's Stadium the following day.
However, after a 0–0 draw against next-to-bottom Burton Albion in December,[13] Husband was dropped from the side, with Jamal Lewis replacing him as Norwich's first-choice left-back.
