However 4 years later he found out he could play for the ENG & GB 7 a side Paralympic football team.
He has now played in 4 major tournaments; the Intercontinental Cup, European Championships, World Championships and the Paralympics Games in Rio where he Captained the GB team. His dreams finally came true!

He also delivers motivational assemblies and takes fitness sessions in Primary schools and is an Athlete mentor for the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.
Jack proved an inspirational Sporting Champion. His opening speech hit all of the School Games values and his story of overcoming adversity and perseverance was great.

Jack adjusted his welcome speech on each day to make it appropriate for the age group of the young people. Jack was relaxed, friendly and made an effort with everyone he met.
