Despite missing two months with a hamstring problem, the 28-year-old made 19 appearances in the Premier League as Daniel Farke's side finished 14th in their top-flight return.
"It's been a brilliant season," said James before Wales' summer friendlies against Ghana and Romania.
"We achieved our goal of staying in the Premier League.
"We want to become that established Premier League team and next season we just want to kick on and become that.
"The minutes I got this season was really big for me and coming into these games I want to use it as fuel to go into the next season.
"I've been really looking forward to these games and every time I put on the Wales shirt I feel pride. The last couple of seasons I have gone into the summer with a slight injury which has not helped going into pre-season so I just want to be as fit as I can going from the end of the season into pre-season."
James has been joined on Wales duty by 18-year-old Leeds left-back Jayden Lienou, who is yet to make a first-team, but was an unused substitute in two Premier League matches in May.
"Jayden is a player who has been brilliant this season," James added.
"He's been training with us a lot, he's a great lad. I think it will be great for him this week to experience it and I think he thoroughly deserves it.
"He's been great since he got here, great at Leeds, and he's definitely one for the future. He's a top player."
