Bermudian goalkeeper Nathan Trott has earned high praise in the English football media, being ranked as the best goalkeeper in League One by Football League World. The ranking places the Cardiff City loanee ahead of a plethora of seasoned veterans and promising young talent across the entire third tier.
The assessment considered Trott’s current form, career experience, future potential, and his immediate impact on the .
Despite possessing relatively little experience at this level, Trott, on loan from FC Copenhagen, has quickly established himself as a dominant presence between the posts. His arrival has coincided with an incredible defensive record for Cardiff City; the team has conceded just one goal in the opening six league games in which Trott has featured, a statistic that underlines his preventative capabilities.
The former West Ham United youth prodigy previously gained top-flight experience in the UEFA Conference League, and that continental exposure is evident in his assured displays for Cardiff.
The publication’s number one ranking provides extra motivation for the Welsh capital side. Cardiff City has a reported option to make Trott’s loan permanent should they secure promotion back to the Championship this season.
Manager Brian Barry-Murphy now has every reason to drive his team toward promotion, knowing that retaining the services of the league's consensus best goalkeeper could be the key to long-term success. Trott’s stellar start has not only shored up Cardiff’s defence but has put him firmly in the spotlight as one of the EFL’s most valuable assets.
