I am an elite men's artistic gymnast and a member of Great Britain’s Senior Top Squad as part of the World Performance Programme. I am proud to say I have competed at world level for Great Britain as both a Junior and Senior.
I am currently the English, British and European Senior Floor Champion and European Team Bronze medallist.
My break through year was in 2019, where I competed at no less than 7 internationals. I captained Team England at the Unni and Harald’s competition in Norway winning Team Silver and an individual All-around Silver medal. I represented Team GB at the European Youth Olympic Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan. I also competed for Great Britain at the inaugural Junior World Championships in Gyor, Hungary.
In my first year as a Senior at the Osijek World Challenge Cup, Croatia, I qualified for the Floor final and in doing so became the first British gymnast to compete a Triple-Back Somersault and youngest known gymnast in the world. In 2022 I reached the World Cup final on Floor in Doha. At the same competition in 2023, I won my first world cup medal, a bronze on the Floor. Nationally in February 2023 I became English Floor and Parallel Bars Champion and followed this up in March becoming British Senior Floor Champion. At the European Championships in April, I was part of the team with Jake Jarmin, Courtney Tulloch, Josh Nathan and Adam Tobin to win Team bronze. On Floor I became European Champion.
I train at Leeds Gymnastics Club 30+ hours a week, 6 days a week. As an All-around gymnast, I compete across all 6 pieces of artistic apparatus: Floor, Pommel, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and High Bar. I am coached by Andy Butcher, Dave Murray and Tom Rawlinson.
I am currently studying for a Sport and Exercise Therapy degree at Leeds Beckett University with a Sports Scholarship. This sits well alongside my gymnastics career. In 2022 I was honoured to received the Sportman of the Year Award at the annual Sports Awards.

In June it was a huge accolade for me in my first year to be awarded sportsman of the year. With such a sporting pedigree that the university has with Olympic medalist across athletics and triathlon having attended the University. I was suppose to be out in Germany competing for Sengan in a 1st division Bundesliga match, but with the injury diagnosis late that same week it was regrettably too late to attend.
Making history becoming the first British gymnast to compete a triple back somersault on the floor.
