He featured in a second first-class appearance in that season for Cardiff MCCU against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.[5] He made his debut in county cricket for Glamorgan in a List A match against Durham in the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40, making a further appearance in that competition against Nottinghamshire.[6]

Salter managed to take a wicket with his first career ball in the County Championship when he had Leicestershire's Shiv Thakor caught behind.[7] In April 2022, in the opening round of matches in the 2022 County Championship, Salter took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, with 7 for 45 against Durham.[8]
