End of Season Awards 25/26

After our last home game we had our end of season awards.

It’s been a tough season on & of the pitch but the club is alive and we must recognise our collective and individual achievements. After the Bootle (last home) game on Saturday we held our end-of-season presentations. Here’s Players AND Supporters #PotY Harry Norris (c)🧱

Manager Tom Baker and his assistant/coach Keil O’Brien and Lee Rick chose Ollie Southern as their Player of the Year.

For our reserves team, Manager paul Barrow presents Player’s PotY to Dec McGloin, and Management PotY to Kian Wallace. 

Without our Volunteers, of whom there are dozens, we would not exist. Here are just some of our Tea/Bar & hospitality staff who work so hard serving supporters and staff alike throughout the season…….. 🤍

After a vote amongst his fellow staff, our “Volunteer of the Year” is ANDY “SNIFFER” McGRATH – the second time he’s won this award in 4 seasons!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

A special award was presented to Mark “Brooko” Brookes of our Supporters Club, who has raised so much money over the last 4 or 5 years – money which has helped pay for the new Graham Foxall stand at the Pennybridge Lane End of our stadium🤍👏👏👏👏👏

Speaking of Supporters, Vinny and Hannah have been chosen as Supporters of the Season! Dad & daughter attend pretty much every game home & away, and their passion for the team is unrivalled!! 🤍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Last but never least, our Groundsman Adrian Halliwell leaves us this summer. Adrian has worked hard on our pitch for 13 years, first under Foxxy then as Head Groundsman himself. Thank you Adrian for your commitment & dedication to the Club across all those years!! 🤍👏👏👏👏👏👏

TRAFFORD FC MINI-FOOTBALL FESTIVAL!

Reluctantly and with a lot of consideration, our Football Festival has been cancelled.

Due to wear and tear to the pitch after the season end, the pitch won’t be available as the groundwork is starting earlier than planned as remedial fixes are needed.

The location of the 6v6 pitches will not be safe.

We will be refunding teams that have paid in the near future once everything is sorted. An email will be sent to clubs registered.

Thank you and apologies for any inconvenience.

New Signing – Kyle Worsley

Trafford FC are delighted to announce another NEW signing

Kyle Worsley is a forward that previously played for 1874 Northwich, playing 26 times & scoring 9 goals in Midland Football League this season.

Kyle, spent his youth with Wigan Athletic where he made it through their ranks up to the under 18’s set up.

After leaving Wigan, Kyle spent a season playing football in Dubai with TFA Dubai FC.

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

I felt like we needed to strengthen in the attacking areas of the pitch, goals and assist have been hard to come by hopefully Kyle will help with that. He’s a good age and has good pedigree and shown a desire to come in and help us out. Another lad that has worked with Lee Rick previously. He can play either as a wide player or a 10 and will give us good completion for places

Kyle is available for this Saturday’s game at away to Nantwich Town.

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

New Loan Signing – Harvey Bardsley

Trafford FC are delighted to announce the loan signing of Goalkeeper Harvey Bardsley from Blackpool until 22nd Mar 26. 

Manager Tom Baker said:

Thanks for Blackpool entrusting us with Harvey who is a really promising young professional. He has already had a loan spell at Runcorn early season and done really well so we’re looking forward to working with him. He’s has good size and presence and is highly thought of at Blackpool

Trafford FC Club Secretary, Paul Delaney also added:

Great support from another local football league team,  provided all the paperwork needed to register Harvey, the support to part time members of a non league club are valuable, thanks to Nick Horne at  Blackpool for supporting me.

Harry is in the squad for the weekend game against Lower Breck.

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