Trotter has now taken on a new venture with the Player to Match Official Programme which offers training, education and development to former players on their path towards refereeing.
He said, “It’s really, really interesting. I was always aware that refereeing football is a completely different game.
“So many different decisions to be made, so many different challenges and I think I can definitely see that in the future there are going to be things that I will find difficult but it’s also having that self-belief and confidence that I can get better and improve.”
