| Profile |
|
Ben started as a trainee under Mark Coghlan in his home town of Bridport in 2002. In July 2006, he moved up to London to persue a playing career and under the guidance of the Ronaldsons and then Nick Wood, his game has gone from strength to strength. He won his first Open title in 2010, the US Open Doubles partnering Steve Virgona and looks forward to many more....hopefully.
After a short stint at the Bordeaux club, he has moved back to the UK to Prested Hall to pursue his playing ambitions and try to qualify for the next World Championships.
Outside of Real Tennis, Ben's greatest achievment is a Hole-in-One on the Golf course and bringing a live band to a standstill with his dancing antics.
