The shape of him

James Trafford is a 24-year-old goalkeeper at Leeds United and a England international. In 25/26 that meant 24 club appearances and 2,262 minutes. A goalkeeper is judged in the moments that decide games: the save at 1–0, the claim under pressure, the first pass that starts an attack.

The job

Command the box, organise the line in front, and keep the side in the game when it is under the most pressure.
