Post playing
After his playing career finished, Troy became a practicing lawyer and then moved to Darwin. In 2012, Troy was given a 18-month suspended jail sentence after bashing a patron at a pub in Darwin. It was reported that Troy was asked by staff not to drink outside the venue. An argument then broke out between Troy and another man, the man punched Troy who hit him back causing the person to hit their head on the pavement. Troy then knelt over the victim and punched him four times in the face before kicking him in the head. The man suffered a fractured cheek bone, broken nose, lost four teeth and needed stitches, as well as bone and skin grafts. It was reported that Troy's lawyer told the Northern Territory Supreme Court that it was unlikely Troy would be able to practice law again after the incident.[3][4]
