Biography
James Hume is a reliable centre, who brings aggression and excellent reading of the game in midfield.
The outside centre is a key member of the Ulster backline, and has formed a strong partnership alongside Stuart McCloskey and Jude Postlethwaite more recently.
Known for his physicality in defence, strong carrying and ability to break the gain line, Hume has also developed into a reliable attacking threat.
James has three caps for Ireland and played Ireland XV last season against England 'A'.
A member of the same Royal Belfast Academical Institution side as Michael Lowry, Callum Reid and David McCann, James won three consecutive Danske Bank Schools Cups before joining the Ulster Rugby Academy.
He would make his senior Ulster debut against Munster in 2018 and has since made over 100 appearances for his province.
