Goalkeeper James Trafford has stated that he left Manchester City to prioritize his mental wellbeing, according to a report by Will Castle in The Independent. The 22-year-old England youth international departed the Premier League champions after struggling for first-team opportunities behind established starter Ederson.
Trafford, who came through City's academy, spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Burnley in the Premier League before making a permanent move. The shot-stopper has represented England at various youth levels and was part of the squad that won the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
