Trent Salkeld is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 2000s. He played for the Newcastle Knights in the NRL competition.
Playing career
Salkeld made his first grade debut for Newcastle against South Sydney in round 5 of the 2005 NRL season. In one match, he scored three tries against the Sydney Roosters but the Novocastrians lost the match 28–14. Salkeld finished the season as the club's second highest try scorer but it wasn't enough to stop Newcastle finishing with their first Wooden Spoon. Salkeld was later forced into an early retirement due to nephrotic syndrome, which caused his kidneys to operate at just 60 per cent of their capacity.[1]
