Athlete main content
Five years after his professional rugby career was cruelly cut short when he suffered life changing leg injuries in a freak accident while playing a match in 2015, Walsh is back in full-time sport as a discus thrower.
Walsh set a new F44 world shot put record of 15.73m at the 2019 World Para Athletics Grand Prix in Grosseto, Italy.
He has since picked up two international bronze medals - the first in Poland at the 2021 European Championships, and then in Birmingham one year later representing Wales at the Commonwealth Games.
