Sport specific information
When and where did you begin this sport?
He took up para-athletics in late 2014.
Why this sport?
During his rehabilitation he became involved in wheelchair rugby before taking up para-athletics. "I started with rugby so that would be my original choice but I really enjoy throwing discus. They are both two very different elements of sports. It's very hard to pick a favourite because they are really not the same."
