James Trafford (photo: Manchester City / Getty) Cumbrian goalkeeper James Trafford has helped Manchester City s rising stars claim a league title. Trafford, 18, was part of City s Elite Development Squad team that wrapped up the Premier League 2 title this week. It is yet another positive step in the promising career of the former Carlisle United academy kid, who comes from Greysouthen near Cockermouth. Trafford, who has been on the first-team bench for Pep Guardiola s side this season, was in goal as City saw off West Ham 1-0 in their first game as champions. That came after their PL2 title was confirmed when nearest rivals Blackburn were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool last week.
