BC3 (comp. partner Connor Wellfare)

Will is making his Paralympic debut in Paris, five years after making his international debut at an Open event in Zagreb, where he won a silver medal.

The BC3 athlete from Reading helped secure a qualifying spot in Paris with competition partner Sally Kidson after they triumphed together winning gold in the BC3 Pairs category at the qualifying tournament in Portugal.

Will’s first major appearance in a British shirt was at the 2022 World Championships in Rio, where he was eliminated at the quarter-final stage in the BC3 Pairs. And in 2023, Will – together with ramp assistant Connor Wellfare – won silver in the individual event at the European Para Championships.

He was introduced to Boccia in the same way as gold medallist David Smith through the Treloars School.
