Matt first began playing wheelchair rugby for the SA Sharks in 2001. After a period of ‘semi-retirement’ from state wheelchair rugby in 2005 and 2006 to complete a thesis, Matt returned to the Sharks in 2007.
Matt works as a registered psychologist and away from the office has an interest in all things kustom kulture from rockabilly and swing to lowbrow art. Matt notes his career highlight as playing in the NWRL Grand Final after a season without a substitute available in 2010.
Matt’s real story is one of persistence and a renewed interest after some time away from the game.
