James Timothy Barry Coombes (born 27 May 1996) is a Gibraltarian footballer who plays for West Didsbury & Chorlton and the Gibraltar national team. Mainly a striker, he can also play as a attaking midfielder. His cousin is Gibraltar Phoenix defender Lee Coombes.

Club career

Coombes began his career with cousin Lee at Europa, playing for them in their first season in the UEFA Europa League. Despite attracting the attention of several clubs from England and France, Coombes opted to sign for Manchester 62 in 2015, scoring 4 goals in an ultimately unsuccessful season at the club. He left in summer 2016 to study in Cardiff, and in February 2017 signed for Welsh Football League Division One team Undy Athletic while continuing his studies. On August 17, 2017, he signed for Lincoln Red Imps, and was immediately loaned back to Undy for the coming season. After a stop-start season plagued by injury, he scored his first Undy goal on 16 December, the winner in a 3-2 victory against Pen-y-Bont.

In August 2018, he moved to West Didsbury & Chorlton, joining up with compatriot Jack Sergeant.[1] Although he signed in August, he didn't receive clearance until October.[2]

International career

Coombes was first called up to the Gibraltar senior team in May 2015 for matches against Croatia and Germany.[3] He made his international début with Gibraltar on 7 June 2015 in a 0-4 loss with Croatia. He returned to the senior team in March against Bosnia, yet didn't play, however he remained in the squad in June against Cyprus, while simultaneously receiving his first call up for the newly formed Gibraltar national under-21 football team.
