Forward Christopher Happi-Fankam joined Trafford in October 2026 from fellow North West Counties Football League Premier Division side AFC Liverpool.
Happi-Fankam gained valuable experience during his time with the Merseyside club, featuring in league and cup competitions, including the FA Cup and FA Vase.
He made an immediate impression on Trafford supporters before his arrival, scoring twice for AFC Liverpool in a thrilling 3-3 draw against the Whites before making the switch to Shawe View.
Hamed Sidibe adds pace, power and athleticism to Trafford’s attacking options. Capable of operating anywhere across the front line, he gives Tom Baker valuable tactical flexibility and another player capable of stretching opposition defences with intelligent movement.
Although still waiting for his first competitive appearance of the season, Hamed has impressed with his attitude and commitment since joining the first-team squad. His willingness to work hard both in and out of possession makes him a valuable member of the group, while his physical attributes provide Trafford with a different attacking option when required. As the campaign progresses, Hamed will be looking to earn further opportunities and make a significant contribution in league and cup competitions.
Bradley Njine has made a lively start to his Trafford career, appearing in all three of the club’s opening competitive fixtures. His pace, athleticism and direct approach have already provided supporters with an exciting glimpse of what he can offer in the final third.
Capable of playing across the front line, Bradley enjoys running at defenders and stretching opposition back lines with his movement. His willingness to press from the front also fits perfectly with Trafford’s energetic style of play. Still adapting to his new surroundings, Bradley continues to grow in confidence with every appearance and will be looking to turn promising performances into goals and assists as the campaign develops.
Dillon Edmundson has begun his Trafford career positively, featuring twice during the opening weeks of the season as he settles into life at Shawe View. A hard-working forward who leads the line with enthusiasm and commitment, Dillon offers intelligent movement and a relentless work ethic.
Whether starting matches or making an impact from the bench, he is always prepared to press defenders, create space for teammates and put opposition defences under pressure. Although still searching for his first Trafford goal, Dillon’s all-round contribution has already impressed the coaching staff, who value his selfless approach and willingness to work for the team. His determination suggests it will only be a matter of time before he opens his account.
Ryan Brooke joined Trafford with an outstanding reputation after leaving Runcorn Linnets as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, having scored 83 goals in 200 appearances. Described by manager Tom Baker as “a coup for the football club”, Ryan arrived with the pedigree and experience expected of a proven number nine.
He has wasted little time making his mark at Shawe View, scoring on his league debut and taking his tally to one goal in his opening three competitive appearances. Strong, intelligent and clinical in front of goal, Ryan combines excellent hold-up play with the movement and finishing ability that have made him one of the region’s most respected non-league strikers. As Trafford’s leading centre-forward, he will be central to the club’s ambitions of challenging for promotion throughout the 2026/27 season.
Luke Sephton arrived at Trafford following an outstanding season with Ramsbottom United, where he made 46 appearances and scored 16 goals as the club reached the North West Counties Premier Division play-offs. His impressive record convinced Tom Baker to bring the talented attacker to Shawe View ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
Comfortable playing as an attacking midfielder or across the front line, Luke combines creativity, intelligent movement and an excellent eye for goal. He has featured in all three of Trafford’s competitive fixtures so far and continues to settle quickly into his new surroundings. Supporters will be hoping his proven ability to both score and create goals can play a major role as Trafford push towards the top end of the table this season.
