Back to basics for James Trafford
Winner of Euro U21 2023 with England, James Trafford then left Manchester City for Burnley where coach Vincent Kompany had managed to convince him to sign. A first experience far from the fold that had started badly. Despite good performances, James Trafford had experienced a championship relegation as his teammates.
However, this passage in the second division was beneficial for him. Having only 16 goals in 45 championship matches and by making 29 clean Sheets, he simply disgusted the kingdom's attackers. An excellent experience for the right -hander which returns to Manchester City through the big door.
