THE LOWDOWN Born near the Lake District and raised on a farm, Trafford was on Carlisle’s books before joining Manchester City aged 12. A third-tier loan at Accrington was followed by another at Bolton in January 2022, and in helping the Trotters to climb the table he earned a new five-year deal at his parent club. So impressed was Ian Evatt, the Wanderers boss took Trafford back on loan this term, and the England Under-21s stopper has been a mainstay in Bolton’s push to finish in the League One play-offs.
