Bio:
Aaron first heard about the sport in 2008 while at a wheelchair racing event. He was invited to GB training and selected for the 2009 European championships where the team finished fourth. He was also an integral part of the team at the 2010 World Championships and 2011 Europeans. He made his Paralympic debut at London 2012.
Following that he took time away from the international stage and concentrated on his work and family life but remained playing club rugby for Solent Sharks. In 2016 Aaron successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation (MSF).
Aaron is very much a family man away from the rugby court, and the proud father of two daughters, Ella and Chloe.
In 2017 Aaron returned to high-level training, and was selected in March 2018 to represent GB in Leicester at the Quad Nations. He has since remained in the team, selected for the 2018 World Championships where GB finished fourth, and was part of the team that secured the gold medal at the 2019 Europeans.
