Steve Lewis Joins Trafford

Trafford FC are pleased to confirm that Simon Heaton has joined the first-team management staff for the 2026/27 season.

After Tom & Keil committed their futures to the club and with Lee Rick moving on, it was important a third man was brought in to help Trafford push for promotion out of the North West Counties Football League Premier Division.

Simon on joining the club:

I am delighted to join Trafford as part of the 1st team management I met up with Tom and within minutes I wanted to work with him the club want to bounce back and hopefully I can help with that. we have started working straight away and recruitment has been positive already.  I’m Looking forward to the season ahead working with Tom , Keil and the Trafford staff and supporters.

Manager Tom Baker added:

After the departure of Lee Rick in the  summer to West Didsbury & Chorlton, it was really important that I looked to recruit a third man to work alongside me and Keil, I always like working as a three management team. I think it’s really important to have a couple of opinions throughout the season in regards to various things, I think the important thing for me was that we got the right man with the right attributes, I think between the three there’s many boxes that you need to tick as a management team, from coaching, recruitment, knowledge of the level etc.

I felt it was really important going to a new level as in the north-west counties is a level that myself and both Keil don’t  have a great level of experience with regards to the other teams and in regards to players at that level I felt the key factor to who we brought in was going be someone who’s been at that level before I think Simon ticks that box.

He spent 2 to 3 seasons at Abbey Hey working under a strict budget and kept them in the division. He spent a few years before that at New Mills again in the same division working as a three man team with Mike Norton and David Birch, he knows the level really well. He knows the other teams, knows players at the level.he’s a really good guy. He’s really hungry to be successful and be a part of something this season so I once I sat down and met with him it was quite clear that he was the right guy to bring in to work  alongside me and Keil and looking forward to the new season.

Welcome to Trafford Steve!

Double August Award Success for Trafford FC

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!

Riley was released by Oldham not long ago having spent 2 seasons there. He had his first taste of non league football towards the back end of last season with a string of impressive performances. He had a fair few suitors in the summer. 

A great age, hungry to make a name for himself; can play centrally or out wide.

Welcome to Trafford Riley, we’re delighted to have you here!

New Signing – Jake Dunford

Jake has really good experience at this level having been with Padiham , West Didsbury, and most recently Abbey Hey. He is a player who can cover multiple positions, and he comes with a real hunger to succeed. I am really pleased to have him on board.

Welcome to Trafford Jake, we’re delighted to have you here!

New Signing – Moses Yoak

Trafford FC are delighted to announce a NEW signing – Moses Yoak!

Centre back / centre midfield

Moses is someone who worked with Simon Heaton at Abbey Hey and was a key player for them. He played several positions and won multiple awards last season. He had plenty of options this summer, but was really keen to come to Trafford. I am really looking forward to working with Moses, he will bring us great athleticism in the team. He’s at a good age and shown a great desire to be a part of what we want to do next season

Welcome to Trafford Moses, we’re delighted to have you here!

New Signing – David Worrall

Trafford FC are delighted to announce a NEW signing – David Worrall!

David joins on 1/7 after his contract ends at Barrow.

A vastly experienced winger and midfielder, Worrall has racked up over 600 senior appearances in his career. Winning promotion with Millwall in 2017 and being named Port Vale club’s Player of the Year for 2019–20, also named in the 2020–21 EFL League Two Team of the Season. He helped Port Vale to win promotion out of League Two via the play-offs in 2022.

When asked about David’s arrival, manager Tom Baker said:

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.

Welcome to Trafford David, we’re delighted to have you here!

New Signing – Lewis Jacklin

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!
