Welcome to Trafford Chris, we’re delighted to have you here!
Trafford FC are delighted to celebrate a double success in the North West Counties Football League’s August awards, with the club named PST Sport Premier Division Club of the Month and Connor Beard winning the paxsport Premier Division Goalkeeper of the Month award.
The honours recognise an impressive opening month of the 2026/27 season, featuring strong league performances and progress in both the Emirates FA Cup and Isuzu FA Vase.
Our campaign began with a 3–0 home victory over Longridge Town. Despite defeat at Ramsbottom United, the team responded with wins at Worsbrough Bridge Athletic and Armthorpe Welfare in the cup competitions, followed by a 3–0 league success at Abbey Hey.
A memorable afternoon at Runcorn Linnets provided another highlight. Ryan Brooke opened the scoring against his former club before Jensen Bowering and David Worrall helped Trafford secure a 3–2 FA Cup victory over higher-level opposition. Brooke then scored the only goal against FC Isle of Man to round off the month with another home win.
Connor’s individual award recognises the important contribution he made throughout that run. Having joined from Abbey Hey in the summer, he quickly established himself between the posts, with the league highlighting his organisation of the defence alongside his saves.
His performances against his former club helped secure victory at Abbey Hey, while important stops against FC Isle of Man protected our narrow lead and ensured all three points stayed at Trafford. This is Connor’s first NWCFL Goalkeeper of the Month award, and the club’s first winner of the honour.
Together, the awards are a welcome recognition of the work put in by our players and management team, and a strong start to our return to the North West Counties Football League.
Congratulations to Connor and everyone involved, and thank you to our supporters for backing the team at home and on the road.
Up the Trafford!

David Worrall comes in with real pedigree having spent most of his career in the Football League. What jumped out at me when we met was that he still has a big appetite to play and be successful, even though he’s in the latter stages of his career.
His experience will be invaluable and he will also bring real quality to the group. He can play various positions which is a real asset also.
David had plenty of options as you would expect, but has decided to come to us which is a Great compliment. He’s a player I’m sure will offer great value this season, and I’m looking forward to working with him.

Trafford FC are delighted to announce a NEW signing – Lewis Jacklin!
Lewis joins after playing at Newcastle Town last season.
When asked about Lewis’ arrival, manager Tom Baker said:
Left back Lewis Jacklin played against us at tail end of the season for Newcastle Town and caught my eye from very early on in that game. He played against our Kyle Worsley, who was in really good form at the time, and I thought Lewis was outstanding that day defending one on one. Lewis is really quick, has loads of energy, and has real quality going forward, and can play off both sides. He is someone who straight away I looked at as a potential signing who I’d love to work with. I had a really good conversation with him in the summer and convinced him that we were the right place for him to continue his development. He is at a good age in his early 20s. He’s really hungry to progress and be a part of something successful. Lewis is an exciting young prospect and someone I’m really excited to work with
Welcome to Trafford Callum, we’re delighted to have you here!
Trafford FC are delighted to announce a NEW signing – Callum Grogan!
When asked about Callum’s arrival, manager Tom Baker said:
Callum is someone I saw in my first spell as Trafford manager, when he was a young lad playing for Radcliffe Borough. I was really impressed at the time – he defended well, showing a great deal of composure. Since then he’s gone on to make a lot of appearances at NPL level and above, and played at some really good clubs – most recently Lower Breck last season, and Runcorn Linnets the season before. Callum is a player who defends aggressively. He is someone who’s a leader, and he’s got huge experience. He is a player who is going to be really important in regards to what we want to do next year. We need a real strong core of players who understand the level, lads that still want to be really successful, and Callum fits into that. He is at a good age in his late 20s, and again is someone who can kick on with us this year. He is going to be a really important player for us
Welcome to Trafford Callum, we’re delighted to have you here!
Trafford FC are delighted to announce a NEW signing – Ryan Brooke!
Ryan left Runcorn Linnets with 200 appearances and scoring 83 goals in that time.
When asked about Ryan’s arrival, manager Tom Baker said:
Signing Ryan Brooke is such a coup for the club. Having a quality Number 9 at any level of football is really important to any team, and Ryan has a massive pedigree at a higher level. He has an amazing goalscoring record, and he joins us from Runcorn Linnets where he is their all-time leading goal scorer and was loved at the club. He is a player and a person that I’m really looking forward to working with. I think he’s going to offer not only goals and performances on the pitch, but a really important part of the group off the pitch, in the dressing room. A really likeable guy. Someone who is going to be pivotal in what we want do this year
Welcome to Trafford Ryan, we’re delighted to have you here!
