He started training with NWA-UK Hammerlock at the age of 14, under the guidance of Jon Ryan and Andre Baker. His offense includes various technical wrestling holds and pinning combinations, along with hard hitting strikes, which stems from his love of puroresu.

He was a member of popular British tag team the Leaders of the New School, alongside partner Marty Scurll.
