Trollope was educated at Marlborough, Tonbridge and St John's College, Cambridge.[1] He made his first-class debut for Cambridge University against the Cambridge Town and Country Club in 1856. Trollope made one further appearance for the university against the Cambridge Town Club in 1857. While playing for the university, he was severely injured by a catapult, an early bowling machine, and was unable to play in the Varsity match.

In 1861, he represented Hampshire in a single first-class match against the Marylebone Cricket Club. In 1863, he played a single non-first-class match for the newly formed Hampshire County Cricket Club against Surrey.[2]

Trollope died at Cowlam, Yorkshire on 22 April 1872.
