Career

Tretton began his career at hometown club Derby County. While with Derby, he was loaned to Southern League Premier Division club Gresley Rovers for one month in September 1997, where he made three appearances. [1]

On 4 July 2002, Tretton signed for Football Conference club Hereford United, on a two-year contract. [2] After three seasons with Hereford, he signed a two-year contract with fellow Conference National club Accrington Stanley in June 2005. [3] He made only seven appearances for the Lancashire club during an injury-ravaged two-year stay, which included a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a persistent knee injury that ultimately required surgery. [4] [5]

Tretton retired from professional football in April 2007 as a result of his injury problems, receiving an insurance payout from Accrington that meant he was unable to play professionally again. He did briefly feature for part-time AFC Telford United during pre-season in 2007 as he was still able to play semi-professionally, but a move never materialised. [6]
