Start sporting career

Reason for taking up the sport
He developed an interest in the sport after coach Craig Richardson performed a gymnastics demonstration at his primary school. "I couldn't play sport for three years [due to a hip condition] and then that guy came to our school and did a back flip and I wanted to do it. I went to his club [Pennine Gymnastics Club] and it all took off from there."
Ambitions
To win gold in the rings event at the Olympic Games. (yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, 22 Jan 2022)
