Playing career

While attending Wavell State High School in 1999, Tronc was selected to play for the Australian Schoolboys team.[3]

Tronc played at prop forward in the 2005 NRL Grand Final, the Cowboys' first, which they lost to the Wests Tigers.

During a game against the Brisbane Broncos in Round 18 of the NRL competition Tronc suffered a knee injury which required reconstructive surgery, which ruled him out for the rest of the 2007 NRL season.

In July 2009, Tronc signed a two-year deal with Super League club Wakefield Trinity Wildcats from the start of the 2010 season.[4] After seven matches with the Wildcats he asked for a release to return home to Brisbane. Reports at the time linked him with a return to the NRL with the Brisbane Broncos.[5]

Tronc then signed with the Brisbane Broncos until the end of 2010.[6]

In July 2011, Tronc was forced into premature retirement by a debilitating neck injury.[7]
