Wheelchair Rugby won their first ever Paralympic gold medal at Tokyo 2020 in a historic 54-49 victory over USA. Growing up Jack was always involved in sport, playing rugby through the winter, cricket in the summer and golf all year round. He broke his neck playing rugby but he says the first thing he wanted to do was get back into sport and when he heard about wheelchair Rugby he knew: “it was for me!”

He is one of four players in the Great Britain squad from Leicester Tigers
