Ian Evatt feels promising young goalkeeper James Trafford can improve all areas of his game in this upcoming season at Bolton Wanderers in his loan from Manchester City.

The 19-year-old has begun the season as the club's number one goalkeeper, with Joel Dixon close behind him in the pecking order in a competitive goalkeeping department at the League One side.
