Youth career

Born and bred in Auckland, Trainor attended St Peter's College in the city and went on to represent Auckland at under 18 level before heading south to Waikato to attend university. [1]

Senior career

Trainor was a winner of the Sir Edmund Hillary scholarship which saw him attend the University of Waikato. Whilst there he played local level rugby with the Fraser Tech Rugby club and also made 11 appearances in Ranfurly Shield and Mitre 10 Cup games for Waikato. [3] [4] It was announced at the end of the 2016 season that Trainor would return home to play for Auckland in 2017. [5]

Super Rugby

Trainor was named in the Blues wider training group ahead of the 2016 Super Rugby season, however, injury meant that he didn't make any appearances during the campaign. His subsequent return to fitness and form with Waikato in the second half of 2016 ensured that he was upgraded to a full contract with the franchise for 2017. [2]

International

Trainor was chosen as a member of the New Zealand Under-20 side which competed in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in England, however injury limited him to just one appearance. [4] [6] [7]
