He was part of the England team who triumphed at this summer's Under-21 European Championship, not conceding a goal during the whole tournament and saving a late penalty in the final against Spain to secure the trophy.

“I feel very happy to officially be a Burnley player, I was excited for it to all get done whilst the Euros was going on, I knew a lot about it and I was waiting to get back to make it all official really,” Trafford said on the club's official website.

“I want to improve and learn as much as I can here and as a team, I just want to take it a day at a time and try and achieve as much as we can going forward.”

Trafford has spent the last two seasons on loan in League One, with Accrington Stanley and Bolton Wanderers respectively.

He joins a Burnley goalkeeping cohort that includes Arijanet Muric, who also was signed from Man City, and Lawrence Vigoroux, who arrived last month from Leyton Orient.

Burnley fans could get their first glimpse of Trafford in pre-season against Genk on 22 July.

He could make his Premier League debut against his former team when Burnley kick off their first season back in the top flight against the defending champions on Friday 11 August.
