245: James Trafford

Onto the next feature interview we go, this time with the return of Richard Lee to the question-asking fold. James Trafford may only be 20, but the Man City stopper already has a wealth of goalkeeping experience to draw upon. From farmland beginnings in Cumbria to signing for The Cityzens at the age of 12, he talks GKU through a difficult first stab at professional football with Accrington, finding a temporary – and hugely successful – home in Bolton and learning alongside Xavi Mancisidor and Ederson et al at the Etihad. Traff's a very uncomplicated, family-oriented chap whose growth both as a person and goalkeeper has been evident in the past 18 months. A bright future awaits.
