Born and bred in Auckland, Trainor attended St Peter's College in the city and went on to represent Auckland at under 18 level before heading south to Waikato to attend university.[1]
Trainor was a winner of the Sir Edmund Hillary scholarship which saw him attend the University of Waikato. Whilst there he played local level rugby with the Fraser Tech Rugby club and also made 11 appearances in Ranfurly Shield and Mitre 10 Cup games for Waikato.[3][4] It was announced at the end of the 2016 season that Trainor would return home to play for Auckland in 2017.[5]
Trainor was named in the Blues wider training squad ahead of the 2016 Super Rugby season, however, injury meant that he didn't make any appearances during the campaign. His return to fitness and form with Waikato in the second half of 2016 ensured that he was named in the Blues full squad for the 2017.[2]
Trainor was chosen as a member of the New Zealand U20 side which competed in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in England, however injury limited him to just one appearance.[4][6][7]
