Football
Trafford joined Hawthorn from East Brunswick at the start of the 1926 VFL season[3] and after playing for the reserves for most of the season he made his debut against Richmond in Round 15 and scored a goal on debut.[4] Trafford played another senior game two weeks later and two more games in 1927 but never secured a regular spot in the side.
In 1928 he transferred to Preston[5] but failed to gain a position in the senior side.[6]
