Travers signed for English club AFC Bournemouth in July 2016, aged 17.[5][6] He joined Weymouth on loan in August 2017, scoring on his debut in the 3–2 victory against Bishop's Stortford.[5][7] The loan ended in January 2018.[8]

In July 2018 he signed a new "long-term" contract with Bournemouth.[9]

He made his debut for Bournemouth on 4 May 2019 in a 1–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.[10] Upon doing so, he became the first teenage goalkeeper since Joe Hart in 2006 to start a Premier League match, and made a number of saves to help the club record its first ever victory over Tottenham, with Travers keeping a clean sheet and receiving Man of the Match for his performance.[11] He was later selected by BBC pundit Garth Crooks in his 'Team of the Week'.[12]

On 15 July 2019, Travers signed a new long-term contract at Bournemouth.[13]

He moved on loan to Swindon Town in January 2021.[14][15] He was recalled by Bournemouth on 11 February 2021, having made eight appearances.[16]

Following the departure of Asmir Begović, Travers began the 2021–22 season as Bournemouth's first choice goalkeeper, beginning with a 2–2 draw with West Brom on the opening day of the campaign.[17] Travers started all but one of the Cherries' opening 14 games, an unbeaten run which included a club record-setting six away games in a row without conceding a goal.[18] For his performances in September 2021, Travers was nominated for the club's player of the month award, losing out to Gary Cahill.[19] In June 2022 he signed a new five-year contract with Bournemouth.[20]

Travers joined Stoke City on loan for the 2023–24 season.[21][22] He made 14 appearances for Stoke before he was recalled by Bournemouth on 27 October 2023 after an injury sustained by Neto.[23]

On 29 January 2025, Travers signed on loan for Middlesbrough until the end of the 2024–25 season.[24][25]
