Jade and her sister Adele were both selected as juniors and attended their first training camp in April 2018. A few months later, they won their first international junior title together as U24 European Champions.

Jade went on to make her senior debut at the 2021 European Championships in Madrid, where they claimed Silver.

The Portsmouth baller made history the following year at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, where she won bronze with England in the inaugural 3x3 wheelchair basketball tournament.

She was part of the team that reached the Quarter-Finals at Paris 2024 losing to Team USA 59-52.

Jade has recently finished studying at Cardiff Metropolitan University and loves balancing her downtime away from sport by getting stuck into a good rom-com novel or Netflix documentary. Jade also backs herself as a great dancer!
