In the Paralympic Games qualifying event, Will - together with Sally Kidson - overcame two defeats in the BC3 Pair pool matches before going on to win gold, securing Great Britain a spot for the BC3s in Paris.
He and Connor both represented ParalympicsGB at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. He delivered strong performances, particularly over world number one Dan Michel, but was unable to escape his tough pool. He also competed alongside Sally Kidson in the BC3 Pairs event.
Will was introduced to boccia by Treloars School, just like David Smith OBE.
