Playing career

Keith Slater played rugby union for English Schoolboys in 1963 and was awarded a Cambridge University rugby blue in 1964. He made his début for Wakefield Trinity during October 1968, and he played his last match for Wakefield Trinity during the 1971–72 season, he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.

County honours

Keith Slater won 3 caps for Yorkshire (RL) while at Wakefield Trinity.

Career records

In 1971, Keith Slater equaled Wakefield Trinity's "most tries in a match" record, with 7-tries held by Fred Smith, this is still Wakefield Trinity's joint-record.
