Playing career
Early career
A late developer when it came to rugby union, Tristan focused on
Moseley for experience.[7]
Moseley
Tristan joined the Moseley for the start of the
EDF Energy National Trophy 23 - 18.[8] Changes to the English league system saw National Division One be rebranded to the Championship for the 2009-10 season and with only 12 teams it was much more competitive with Moseley finishing 9th at the end of the regular season and being placed in the new format relegation group. Moseley survived the relegation group by finishing 2nd and Tristan had the best season of his career in scoring terms - being the top scorer in the league at the end of the regular season and finishing 3rd overall with 267 points from 26 games.[9][10]
Doncaster Knights / Bristol
After two seasons at Moseley, Tristan moved north to join
London Welsh in the summer.[14]
London Welsh / Ealing Trailfinders
It was somewhat ironic that despite being released by Bristol he managed to achieve something they were desperate for - Premiership rugby - which Welsh had gained at Bristol's expense. Other than that it was neither a good season for Tristan or his club as they struggled to attract fans to their ground at Oxford and were relegated from the Premiership having failed to win a single game. Although Tristan played a number of matches he was unable to become a regular and left the club in 2015 to join Ealing Trailfinders.[15] After the 2015–16 season Tristan left Ealing to start a new adventure in France with US Cognac who play in Fédérale 1 (division 3 of the French rugby union league system).[16]
