Trent McClenahan (b. 4 February 1985, Chipping Norton, New South Wales) is an Australian football (soccer) player who currently plays for English club Hereford United as a full-back. He is also a member of the Australia U23 squad who will represent Australia at the Beijing Olympics.
He was a student at Westfields Sports High School and played for several local youth teams. At the age of 16 he left Australia and signed for West Ham United after impressing in trials. He made his league debut against Crewe in August 2004, the first of three first team appearances for the club. He went out on loan to Milton Keynes Dons in March 2005, which was extended for the duration of the 2005-06 season. In all he made over 40 first team appearances for MK Dons. He was released by West Ham at the end of the season and signed for Hereford United in August 2006. He settled into the first team in the right-back position, and despite being in competition for the position with Simon Travis, went on to make 30 first team appearances scoring once.
Trent has been in and out of the Hereford side this season due to his international commitments, but managed to score his second goal for the club against Lincoln City.
He has also captained the Australia U20 side and was part of the squad for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship although the team failed to progress past the group stages, he did play in all 3 games. In November 2006 he was called up to train with the full team for a game against Ghana. He was then called up into the Australia U23 squad, and has been capped seven times to date.
