James Trafford has set his sights on becoming England's No.1 after getting his first taste of Wembley success on Sunday. Manchester City goalkeeper Trafford is enjoying a second tremendous spell on loan at Bolton Wanderers where he kept another clean sheet in the Papa John's Trophy final.

A ruthless Trotters destroyed Plymouth Argyle 4-0 at the national stadium, with goals from Kyle Dempsey and Dion Charles in the opening 10 minutes setting the tone.

Trafford was called into action to make one smart save with his feet at 2-0 but it was an otherwise quiet afternoon. Elias Kachunga and Gethin Jones got on the scoresheet in the second half to ensure Bolton won the EFL Trophy for the second time after their triumph in 1989.

Whether Bolton return in May or not, Trafford is certainly aiming to play at Wembley on plenty more occasions for England. “My ambition is to be the number one for England one day, which I think I will be,” he told the EFL website. “In the Under-21s, our target is to win the Euros in the summer. “It’s a dream come true to have made my debut for England at the younger ages.
