Dan is a massively inspritational guy and super dangerous on the mats.

Dan competed in judo at international level but became homesick after four years living and training in Kent, England. He moved back to Liverpool where he found he needed an outlet for his competitive nature. This led to him taking up Para athletics.

In 2017, he was runner-up for both Disabled Sportsman of the Year and Senior Volunteer of the Year at Charnwood Sports Awards.

His partner Libby Clegg represented Great Britain in athletics at the Paralympic Games in 2008, 2012 and 2016, winning a total of two gold and two silver medals. His older brother Marc and his father Terry have both represented Great Britain in judo at the Paralympic Games. Marc competed at the 2012 Games in London, while Terry participated at the 1988, 1996 and 2000 editions of the Games.

In 2018, he took part in the television programme Ninja Warrior UK, he was the first contestant with a visual impairment to compete in the show. "Ninja Warrior was a hundred times scarier than competing in London 2012. In London 2012 I knew what I was there to do, I knew what I was going into, I had practised loads. The crowd at Ninja Warrior was amazing though, it was just like the Paralympics. It made the hairs stand up on the back of your neck."

His vision is affected by cone-rod dystrophy, a visual impairment that runs in his family. He worked as a personal trainer and gym instructor at Loughborough Leisure Centre in England. He has studied a degree in personal training and a diploma in sports massage. He is the founder of Ability Training alongside partner Libby Clegg, which offers disability specific awareness courses for sports and fitness professionals.

we are incredibly humbled to welcome dan to the show
