Traynor was drafted in the second round (29th overall) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft by the New York Red Bulls, but was not offered a contract by the team.

After an unsuccessful trial with Aalesunds FK in Norway,[1] Traynor signed with Miami FC of the USL First Division. He made his professional debut on April 26, 2009, coming on as a substitute in Miami's game against Rochester Rhinos.[2] On February 12, 2010 he signed with AC St. Louis [3]

Following St. Louis folding after their one and only season in 2010, Traynor signed a multi-year contract with new USL Pro club Orlando City on March 15, 2011.[4] Traynor spent only the 2011 season in Orlando, helping the club win the USL Pro championship, before signing with USL side Rochester Rhinos on November 28, 2011.[5]
