He was recruited from the Northern Knights Under 18 Football Club, which made the Preliminary finals of the 2007 TAC Cup competition. Trent was one of five teenage footballers whose final year of junior football was chronicled in the book "The Draft: Inside the AFL's Search for Talent"

2008

The promising young Tiger struggled with injury heading into the 2008 AFL season and was put onto the long term injury list. Cotchin was declared fit to play by Round 4 and subsequently played three matches for Richmond's VFL affiliate side Coburg Tigers.

Cotchin made his debut against Geelong in Round 8, coming in as a replacement for the late withdrawal of Adam Pattison. He picked up 16 possessions and kicked 2 goals, one of them with his first kick. In his debut match Cotchin played mainly up forward with a few stints on the ball.

After further impressive performances, Cotchin received the Rising Star nomination for Round 12. Trent Cotchin was third in the NAB rising star award with 21 votes. Docker Rhys Palmer topped the poll with 44 votes, one off the maximum, ahead of Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli with 37. Ilys say Jim

2009

Cotchin again struggled with injury, but after missing the first seven Rounds, He came back to play Port Adelaide in Round 8 but struggled to have an impact collecting only 9 disposals. His season came to an end due to a hip injury suffered against the Melbourne Demons in Round 18. Cotchin finshed the season averaging 17.7 disposals and kicking 9 goals.

2010

Cotchin had a fine start to the season but dropped off a bit after Round 11 and then a suspension against North Melbourne for charging ruled him out for 4 games. Came back for the last two games against St Kilda and Port Adelaide, grabbing 22 disposals against them both and kicking 2 goals against them both.

2011

Cotchin started the season strongly averageing 23.6 disposals and kicking 8 goals in the first half of the season, and finshed even better in the second half of the season averaging 24.5 disposals and booting 10 goals. His efforts won him his first Jack Dyer Medal, the Yiooken Award (Best on ground Richmond vs Essendon Dreamtime at the G)and 15 Brownlow Medal votes.

2012

2012 saw Cotchin in his best season in his career playing all 22 games and grabbing his second Jack Dyer Medal as well as the AFLCA Champion Player of the year award and a Four n Twenty All Australian Spot on the wing. He collected 606 disposals (eighth in the AFL) and kicked 21 goals. His best game this season came against the Western Bulldogs, collecting 35 disposals and kicking 3 goals in a best on ground performance.
