James Edward Ringer (born 18 January 1976) is a retired Wales international rugby union player.
He is currently the defensive coach for Merthyr RFC and Sales Director for Cornerstone Commercial Finance.
Ringer's time at Neath was short as he joined Newport Gwent Dragons in 2003.
Full international caps were hard to come by due to the prevalence of Welsh flankers at the time, including captain Martyn Williams.
The British & Irish Lions were on tour in Australia at the time and several key Wales players, including Martyn Williams, were unavailable.
