A middle-order batsman, Sloman did well in two first-class matches against university sides in 1895. He scored 48 and 19 in the game against Cambridge University. And a week later he made 7 and 15 and took one wicket (in two overs of bowling) against Oxford.
But when he returned for two County Championship matches in 1896 he was not successful.
Cricketarchive has on its records a scorecard from a minor cricket match in 1894 between teams of licensed victuallers in which Sloman featured and where he was identified as coming from Minehead.
