  18. 🎧 Is Trafford Burnley's player of the season?

    72+: The EFL Podcast

    "Being a young goalkeeper is surely one of the most difficult positions to play as a young player.

    "He's been exceptional."

    The 72+ team are joined by striker Lyle Taylor as they discuss the best of the best after an incredible EFL campaign.

    When it came to choosing the player of the season, it was Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford who got Taylor and Aaron Paul's vote.

    The 22-year-old kept 29 clean sheets across 45 Championship games, conceding just 16 times.

    Trafford is not the only player on their radar.

    "My shout would be Josh Brownhill. I thought he was magnificent," Jobi McAnuff said.

    "I know they had a slow first half of the season but if anyone was popping up with an important goal, he was very much the man. A real driving force."
