James Trafford has described his experience at Manchester City last season as "horrendous" due to a lack of playing time. This situation left him with no alternative but to depart the club and join Leeds United in the summer.
Trafford, who joined Manchester City as a youth player, did not make a senior appearance for the club. The goalkeeper's frustration stemmed from his inability to secure a place in the first team, despite his development and potential. This lack of game time ultimately prompted his decision to seek opportunities elsewhere.
His move to Leeds United signifies a new chapter in his career, where he hopes to gain consistent playing time and further his development as a professional footballer.
