Playing career

Born in Paradise Village, Christ Church, Barbados, Trotman played for Barbados from 1976 to 1983. He then joined the West Indies rebels, playing on their tours to South Africa. Due to the West Indies Cricket Board banning those said cricketers, Trotman's playing days for Barbados thus came to and end. He soon joined up with South African side Border and 1989 he was named as a South African Cricket Annual Cricketer of the Year. Trotman eventually featured for Border for a sum of eight seasons.

Coaching career

When his playing days came to a close Trotman became involved in coaching. He went on to obtain a Level 3 coaching certificate from Cricket South Africa along with a Level 4 coaching certificate from the England and Wales Cricket Board.
