Daniel James feels leaving Leeds United for Fulham is proving the right choice.

James is on-loan with the Cottagers for the season.

The 25-year-old is now in Qatar with Wales preparing to live up his dream of playing in the World Cup, which gets underway against USA on Monday. Speaking to Wales Online, James believes he made the right choice moving to Fulham to ensure he was ready for the World Cup.

He said: “It's (World Cup) one of the pinnacles of my career. I wanted to play games and be fit coming into the tournament. It was always on my mind.

“I was there for a season (at Leeds) and really enjoyed it. I loved the place and my family loved it there. It was tough (to leave), it was deadline day and it was last minute.

“I was thinking about the World Cup and maybe I was going to get more game-time. That was always on my mind. I've never thought since that I've made the wrong decision. I still believe I made the right one."
