About Login

As an athlete, I competed in the sprint hurdles event for Cardiff AC, Swansea, and Newport Harriers, winning medals at regional, Welsh, and British levels at club and school in various age groups. I represented Wales at junior and senior level, but my greatest achievement was representing Great Britain as a junior international athlete at the 110 mH abroad.

I am a former u20 indoor 60mH Welsh Championship record holder and still the regional and club (Newport Harriers) record holder.

I was self-coached and assisted by my father, who was an inspiration to me.

In terms of coaching, I have guided athletes from Cardiff AAC and Cwmbran Harriers in the short and long hurdles to British and Welsh titles at various age groups. I have held positions as speed coach for the East Wales Region and for the Welsh Celtic Games team. Many of the athletes I have coached have achieved international and national vests, are ranked in the all-time top 10 in the UK, and hold Celtic Games records. I am a UKA Level 3 sprints and hurdles coach and qualified in strength and conditioning.

Currently, I enjoy watching and coaching my two sons Jayden Jones (10) and Zachary Jones (7), who are starting out in their athletic journeys with their local club, Rhymney Valley Athletics Club.
