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

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!

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!

Luke was a part of a successful Ramsbottom team last season, who reached the play-off semi-final, so he has great experience at the level. He plays as an attacking midfielder, and comes to Trafford with a really good goal record – he reached well into double figures last season from an attacking midfield position, which will be really important for us this season. Luke has a fine record of scoring and creating, and he’s athletically very good which is hugely important. I am really looking forward to working with him
