Connor Beard arrived at Shawe View ahead of the 2026/27 season after an impressive campaign with Abbey Hey, where he established himself as one of the North West Counties League’s standout goalkeepers. Manager Tom Baker identified Beard as his first-choice goalkeeper, praising both his experience and consistency after making 42 appearances during the previous season.
A commanding presence in the penalty area, Connor combines excellent shot-stopping with confident handling and strong communication. Comfortable playing out from the back and quick off his line, he brings calmness and authority to Trafford’s defence. Still in his prime, Beard had interest from several clubs before choosing Trafford, believing in the ambition being built at Shawe View. His professionalism and winning mentality make him a key figure as the club looks to challenge at the top of the North West Counties Premier Division.
