Born in Bermuda, Trott joined Valencia's academy in Spain as an outfield player, after being spotted at a satellite academy ran by Valencia at Saltus Grammar School. Trott transitioned to a goalkeeper on international duty with Bermuda under-15's after an injury to Ajai Daniels. Upon his return to Bermuda, Trott joined North Village Rams.[3] In January 2016, Trott joined West Ham United on the recommendation of Clyde Best, and he signed a new four-year contract with the club in March 2019.[4]
