2009 for Great Britain, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (Athlete, 15 Mar 2015)
:
He began playing table tennis at age 14 at school. (britishparatabletennis.com, 21 Sep 2019)
:
He played tennis from ages four to 14 before he was introduced to table tennis. He competed against able-bodied players in the United Kingdom schools' championship before a coach suggested he try out for the British Paralympic team. "I didn't consider myself to be disabled. I was 16 and thought people would laugh at me but I gave it a try, went to a training camp in 2009 and then to the Romanian Open to get classified. I enjoyed it so much that I decided it was what I wanted to do. I was a bit arrogant at first because I'd played able-bodied table tennis and I thought Para table tennis would be easy but I soon realised how good the standard is."
