Leonard Charles Trump (23 April 1887 – 9 June 1948)[1] was a Welsh international rugby union player, who later switched to professional rugby league. He played amateur club rugby predominantly for Newport, and played county rugby for Monmouthshire,[2] and as a professional joined Hull Kingston Rovers.
