Wheelchair Rugby won their first ever Paralympic gold medal at Tokyo 2020 in a historic 54-49 victory over USA. As a keen sportsman, Jamie tried a number of sports before settling on wheelchair rugby.

He made his international debut at the Canada cup in 2014 and has gone on to represent GB at European and World level, returning from the European Championships in Finland with a gold medal. Jamie made his Paralympic debut as the 2016 Rio Paralympic games where he was an integral member of the team.

Jamie has continued to grow as a player and was a key part of the squad’s success defending their title at the 2017 European championships.
