Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Trent played for New South Wales in the Australian domestic circuit and has played along with the likes of Mark Taylor, Slater and Brett Lee. A captain known for his never say die spirit, Johnston imbibed the same culture into the Irish team as they bounced back from a disappointing time at the World Cricket League to the finals of the Inter Continental Trophy. A final finish in the 2005 ICC trophy helped Ireland qualify for the 2007 WC.
The World Cup provided Johnston with some of the high points in his cricket career, leading his team to a thrilling tie against Zimbabwe and hitting the winning runs against Pakistan to record one of the biggest upsets in cricket history. He also captained Ireland to a win over Bangladesh in the Super Eight stage of the tournament as Ireland finished eighth in the tournament.
Johnston’s career best figures were achieved in April 2009 when his 5-wicket haul destroyed Canada in the finals of the ICC trophy. He was at the centre of action again as he picked up four wickets and scored an unbeaten 20 as Ireland came close to upsetting England in August 2009. This was also his 100th ODI match for Ireland.
Johnston was a part of the Irish squad for his second WC in 2011 and was a solid performer as Ireland thumped England in one of the biggest upsets of the tournament.
However, Johnston's career has been no swan-song. He struggled to find a place in team being neglected in favour of younger candidates. In the 67 ODIs that he played, he picked 66 wickets at a decent economy of 4.33. Recognizing the need to move forward, the 39-year old called quits in December 2013 after lifting the ICC InterContinental Cup - his 12th title in a glorious ten-year span that also saw him feature in two World Cups and three World T20s. The good news for Irish cricket is that the veteran player has taken up the charge of the Ireland women's team and has also become fast-bowling coach at the recently-formed National Academy.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A strapping fast bowler born in Australia, Johnston's career began at New South Wales where he played alongside the likes of Mark Taylor, Michael Slater and Brett Lee, before choosing to represent Ireland. A positive captain who led from the front, he had little problem motivating his side - as demonstrated when Ireland bounced back from a disappointing World Cricket League in Kenya, where they finished 5th, to demolish the United Arab Emirates and qualify for the final of the Intercontinental Cup. He tore the heart out of the UAE batting line up in their second innings taking three for eight from his eight overs as Ireland recorded a morale-boosting victory by an innings and 170 runs. He led Ireland to a thrilling tie against Zimbabwe in their first match of the 2007 World Cup before beating Pakistan - Johnston hit the winning runs - to record one of the biggest upsets in history.
In March 2008, at the age of 34, Johnston announced that he was taking an indefinite break from international cricket in order to recuperate and spend some time with his family, but returned for Ireland's Intercontinental Cup match against Canada five months later and was a vital member of the side - captained by William Porterfield - that reached its third successive Cup final.
In April 2009 Johnston's career-best figures of 5 for 14 set up Ireland's win over Canada in the final of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers, and later that year he came within a whisker of securing the first Irish victory over England with a fine allround display as he ripped through the top order with four wickets and then hit an unbeaten 20 that couldn't quite get Ireland home. Though time is running out for Johnston, he remains a consistent performer for Ireland and will be a vital member of their squad at the 2011 World Cup.
