Manchester City completes the signing of goalkeeper James Trafford from Burnley

Associated Press MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City completed the signing of James Trafford from Burnley on Tuesday with the goalkeeper returning to the club where he began his career as an academy player. Trafford signed a five-year contract and was handed the No. 1 jersey. 'Rejoining City is such a special and proud moment both for me and my family. I always dreamed that one day I would be able to come back to Manchester City,' Trafford said. 'This is the place I call home.' City reportedly activated a 27 million pound ($36 million) buy-back clause. Trafford's return comes after leaving City for Burnley in 2023 where he helped the club secure promotion to the Premier League last season. He kept a record 29 clean sheets in the second-tier Championship last term. 'James is already one of the most accomplished young goalkeepers in the English game, and we are delighted to welcome him back to Manchester City,' said City director of football Hugo Viana. 'He has all the attributes a top-class goalkeeper requires.' The 22-year-old Trafford is City's sixth signing of the offseason since its four-year run as English champion was ended by Liverpool. City manager Pep Guardiola had reshaped his team with the signings of Rayan Ait-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders, Marcus Bettinelli, Rayan Cherki and Sverre Nypan. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:

🚨 James Trafford officially returns to Manchester City

Manchester City has officially announced the return of goalkeeper James Trafford, who signs with the club after reaching an agreement with Burnley. The young shot-stopper, 21 years old, returns to the 'citizen' squad after having been transferred in 2023. City has exercised a buy-back clause and closed the deal for around 27 million pounds. Trafford, who stood out for his performances in the Championship, will join the team starting August 1. With this move, Guardiola's side strengthens the goalkeeping position in light of the possible departure of Stefan Ortega or Ederson.
