Playing career

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 cap(s) for Yorkshire while at Wakefield Trinity.
Career records
In 1971, Keith Slater equalled the record for the most tries for Wakefield Trinity in a match, with 7-tries held by Fred Smith, this is still the joint-record.
