Louis is the youngest member of the 2020 ParalympicsGB boccia squad. He made his debut for Great Britain on his 16th birthday in Kansas in 2017. Since then, he has represented Britain at a further nine international events.

Already, he has clocked up some impressive career highlights which include two European Championship silver medals (2017 and 2019), two World Open Pairs bronze medals (2018 and 2019) and two Regional Open gold medals (2018 and 2019).

In 2022, Louis won a silver medal at the World Boccia Challenger in Veldhoven. Selected for the 2022 World Championships in Rio, the hard work started to pay off for Louis when he reached the last 16, defeating world number 5 Davor Komar of Croatia 5-3 before a tight 4-3 victory over Germany’s Boris Nicolai, ranked world number 10.
