Bio

Gregg Warburton is one of the standout players in the world and has consistently been named in all-star five line-ups at various international tournaments including the last two World Championships (2018 and 2023).

In 2018, he was the tournament top scorer out of the entire roster of the 2018 World Championships with 110 points as his efforts helped GB to an historic world title after they defeated the USA in Hamburg.

Gregg was instantly recognised as a future talent from as early as 2010 after the Manchester player helped the North West Juniors side win multiple regional titles. Four years later, he would make his GB senior debut alongside winning medals in U-22 junior side as a teenager.

In 2012, he was one of eight juniors that carried the IPC flag at the Paralympics opening ceremony before making his own debut in 2016. He has since helped ParalympicsGB win back-to-back bronze medals in Rio and Tokyo and then silver in Paris.

At Paris 2024, the Wheelchair Basketball team achieved the nation’s best result in the sport in 28 years by claiming second place and the silver medal. In a pulsating final, ParalympicsGB fought back from 12 points down but succumbed to 73-69 defeat to Team USA who claimed their own title of the greatest team ever after making it a historic three titles on the trot. 

He currently plays his club basketball in Madrid. Away from basketball, Gregg enjoys playing drums and table tennis.
