Man City goalkeeper James Trafford breaks record as great start to Bolton Wanderers loan continues

James Trafford continued his excellent start to life on loan at Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday as he kept a fourth clean sheet in his first four games - the first goalkeeper ever do so for the club.
The Manchester City loanee headed to Bolton in January after an unsuccessful spell at fellow League One side Accrington Stanley was cut short after conceding 26 goals in 10 games and losing his spot in the side.
Trafford's season has been rejuvenated since the switch and he has helped spark a turn of fortunes for the Trotters.
