After spending time in Finland and China, he returned to Canada to play for Ottawa Fury FC in the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 2014. Trafford played two seasons with the Fury, winning the NASL Fall Championship title in 2015. Trafford then moved on to Miami FC for two years.

“Returning to Canada to play for Cavalry FC was an easy decision for me and my family,” said Trafford, via a club statement Wednesday. “Southern Alberta has a community that is ready to embrace professional soccer and with solid coaching and support staff and a world-class ownership group we are going to create a unique soccer experience. My family is largely based in Calgary so it feels like coming home.”

“Mason is a serial winner that has won championships in the USL and NASL that adds great experience, leadership and quality to our back line,” said Wheeldon. “He is one of the best left sided Canadian centre backs in the Country.”
