Rugby has always been part of my life. After a life-changing injury, I thought my playing days were over — until I discovered wheelchair rugby league. Now, I’ve earned my first England cap, and I’m chasing the dream of competing in the 2026 Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup. I need your help to get the right equipment to make it happen.

I grew up playing full-contact rugby — the tackles, the team spirit. I played competitively throughout my youth and continued at university, where I pushed myself even harder and deepened my love for the game. Rugby shaped who I am.

Since my injury, day-to-day life became difficult. Even something as simple as walking to the shops is hard now. But when I’m in a wheelchair — at training or during a match — I feel free. The chair gives me speed, control, and independence. On the pitch, I’m not limited by my injury. I’m empowered by the game.

Joining the Sheffield Eagles Wheelchair Rugby League team gave me purpose, connection, and a renewed sense of identity. My mental health improved, my confidence returned, and I found joy in competition again.

In 2024, I was honoured to be named Championship Player of the Year — a recognition of the hard work, resilience, and passion I’ve poured into the sport. And in 2025 I was voted the Eagles’ players’ player of the year and awarded the player of the year as we competed our first season in the Betfred Super League playing every minute of the games despite having a fractured wrist and finger for 3 rounds.

At the Challenge Trophy in 2024, I was scouted by the Rugby Football League (RFL) and invited to join the England Talent Pathway. Since then, I’ve proudly earned my first England cap playing in a game against Spain and scoring two tries on debut — a moment I’ll never forget.

Now, I’m focused on the next big goal: England team selection in early 2026, ahead of the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup later that year.

To reach that level, I need a custom-built rugby wheelchair — and that’s where you come in.

Why a Custom-Built Chair Matters:

A new chair would completely transform how I play wheelchair rugby league in comparison to the club chair I am currently using. It’s custom-built to fit my body, which makes it super comfortable and easy to control. Because it’s so light, I can move quickly and change direction quicker during games. It also helps me stay balanced and react faster, which is important when things get intense on the pitch. The chair is tough enough to handle hard hits and fast-paced matches. For me personally, with the nature of my injury, it will also hopefully help to reduce the amount of pain I experience during a match, allowing me to focus 100% on the game without distractions and would also therefore help me play better with my Sheffield Eagles teammates and gives me a better chance of being picked to play for the England team.

This chair isn’t just about performance — it’s about opportunity, pride, and representing my country.

Every donation helps me get closer to the pitch, closer to the squad, and closer to the dream of playing in the World Cup. But your support doesn’t stop with me.

If I’m selected for the England squad, I plan to donate the chair back to the Sheffield Eagles team — so that another player can have the same opportunity to grow, compete, and thrive.

This isn’t just about one athlete. It’s about building a legacy, lifting others up, and strengthening the future of wheelchair rugby league.

If you can’t donate, sharing this page could help me reach someone who can.

Thank you for believing in second chances, in sport, and in the power of community. Let’s make this dream roll — all the way to the World Cup.
