 Trumble joined the National Bank of Australasia in 1887 to begin a career in banking . While the bank often allowed him time to practice , his frequent absences with cricket meant his career progression was slow ; after each of his five tours of England he returned to find junior bank officers promoted over him . Nevertheless , he was appointed accountant at the Richmond branch in 1903 and after his retirement from cricket in 1908 , manager of the Kew branch .
