James Pearson (born 19 January 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Coventry City.
Pearson is the son of Nigel Pearson, a former Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough defender, who has later managed teams such as Hull City and Leicester City. James still resides in Sheffield where he was born while his father was playing for Sheffield Wednesday. He attended Westbourne School in Sheffield, and Hartpury College in Gloucestershire.
Pearson's youth career began at Rotherham United. He was released from the club in the summer of 2009.
On 19 September 2012, Pearson joined, on a 12-month contract, Football League Championship side Leicester City, who were then managed by his father Nigel, the season before they returned to the Premier League after a ten-year absence.
On 11 March 2014, James Pearson joined League One club Carlisle United on loan for the rest of the 2014/15 season, along with Watford's Reece Brown. The next day, he made his professional debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 defeat at Sheffield United. He went on to represent Carlisle in a draw against Stevenage and a loss to Notts County, before returning to Leicester, where he extended his contract by one more year on 2 June.
