Personallifeinterests

Sport has always played a significant role in my life. I began playing basketball at 9 years old, and my talent led me to represent the Welsh national team at under 14s, 16s, and 18s. I earned 10 international caps and captained the team on numerous occasions, playing across Europe. I was awarded a scholarship in Spain, where I played for the prestigious Spanish basketball academy in Madrid. Following my time in Spain, I joined Oaklands Wolves in England, where I made my Division 1 debut at the age of 17.
