Kieran Flynn made his international debut two years ago at the European Championships after being on the development squad since 2018. He will be making his Paralympic debut in Paris.

He was a former rugby player as a Centre for his local team Crewe and Nantwich. Following a tackle during a match in 2013, he sustained a spinal injury. After several months of rehab in hospital, Kieran returned to university to complete his degree in law.

In 2021 after a couple years of hard work and continued development, Kieran was invited to a GB selection camp and subsequently named as a member of the GB long squad. His debut for GB was at the European Championships in Paris in 2022, where he was part of the team that won a silver medal.

Kieran is a big Liverpool fan and regularly attends their matches, he loves watching live sport.
