Biography
Started: He took up Para track cycling in August 2015. (southwalesargus.co.uk, 18 Jan 2016)
Reason: "I used to be a sprinter [in Para athletics] but I suffered a grade three hamstring tear and missed out on London [the 2012 Paralympic Games]. I had about five or six injuries in 2015. It was mentally tough and it reached the point where I thought, 'I can't do this anymore'. Then a British Cycling sports development officer from Manchester came to test me and some others and things just went from there. I'd never cycled before, but things went well."

Ambition: To win a gold medal at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. (LinkedIn profile, 04 Oct 2023)
Awards: In October 2019 he received the Performance of the Year award from Welsh Cycling after winning gold in the B 1000m time trial event at the 2019 World Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. (Facebook profile, 13 Oct 2019; britishcycling.org.uk, 01 Oct 2019)
