James Trafford admits it would be tough to return to the academy scene as he sets his sights on challenging Ederson for a regular place in the Manchester City starting XI one day.
Nurtured in the City youth system, the 19-year-old goalkeeper has yet to make his senior debut for the club but continues to impress on loan with Bolton Wanderers.
Trafford spent the first half of this season in League One at Accrington Stanley.
