Playing career

Triner played for Downing's Tileries before joining Port Vale in December 1938. In only his second game, a 1–0 home win at Bristol Rovers on 7 January 1939, he broke his leg. He managed to make guest appearances for Stafford Rangers from January to April 1940 before returning to guest for the Port Vale "A" team (the first team were in abeyance due to the war). He was conscripted in 1941 and guested for Morecambe when he was stationed in the area. He was demobbed in the spring of 1946 and with the threat of Naziism vanquished he returned to the Vale, breaking into the first team by December that year. However he once again broke his leg, in May 1947 and failed to win back his place upon his recovery. He was released at the end of the 1947–48 season, at which point he moved on to Witton Albion, Buxton, Biggleswade Town and Leek Town.^[1]
