He represented England and won a bronze medal in the 82.5 kg light-heavyweight division, at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand. Four years later he won two silver medals in the 99 kg sub-heavyweight division, at the 1994 Commonwealth Games and two gold medals at the 1998 Commonwealth Games, the double medal count at each Games was courtesy of an unusual period when three medals were awarded in one category (clean and jerk, snatch and combined) which invariably led to the same athlete winning all three of the same colour medal.{{cite web|url=https://teamengland.org/commonwealth-games-history/auckland-1990/athletes|title=1990 Athletes|website=Team England}}{{cite web|url=https://thecgf.com/results/athletes/55579|title=Athletes and results|website=Commonwealth Games Federation}}
