Our athletes Simon Brown

Introduced to wheelchair basketball through a community project at his school, Simon Brown quickly proved to be a natural.

Under the guidance of club coach Ian Laker, Simon started his playing career at the Aspire Centre in Stanmore with London Force (now London Titans), developing the skills that would see him go on to earn great success with the GB U22 Team – winning two European titles (2002, 2004) before making his senior debut for Great Britain in 2007.

In 2008, the 2.0 player made his ParalympicsGB debut in Beijing, assisting the team to win the bronze medal.

In addition to his international success, the London native has won titles for clubs around the world, including Spain, Germany, Italy and South Africa.
