Career edit
Frost began his football career in Notts County's youth system. He made his first-team debut as a 16-year-old, on 17 April 2006 as a second-half substitute in the League Two game away against Carlisle United which County won 2–1.[3] He appeared in all three games remaining in the 2005–06 season, each time as a substitute,[4] and signed a two-year professional contract that summer. Although he failed to break into the first team during 2006–07, he spent a month on loan to Conference North club Gainsborough Trinity to gain experience.[5]
After three more first-team appearances, all from the bench, in 2007–08,[6] Frost joined Gainsborough again, this time for two months,[7] and then went on loan to Matlock Town of the Northern Premier League; the latter spell ended prematurely when he suffered a badly broken leg in March 2008.[8] Frost was given a contract extension to prove his fitness,[9] but after a trial with Mansfield Town,[10] he signed for Hucknall Town in March 2009.[11] Released as part of a cost-cutting exercise in October, Frost returned to former loan club Matlock Town.[12] Frost then moved to Perth to play for Stirling Lions SC of the National Premier League in Western Australia. After a successful season, Stirling Lions won the state league Cup and were second in the league.[13] Frost then returned to the UK and signed with Rainworth Miners Welfare. After only a handful of games he caught the eye of former teammate Jason Lee who was the manager of Boston United. Frost signed for Boston, but had a short stay during their 2010–11 season where they reached the playoffs and at the end of the season he was released along with four others.[14] Frost went on to play for Quorn, Heanor Town and Borrowash Victoria.[15][16]
Frost is a full-time UEFA B coach and has coached in the UK, Australia, Thailand and New Zealand.[17]
