The former Hassocks footballer has had a great year - in April he was sixth British finisher in the London Marathon, in June he set a new course record winning the Worthing 10k and at the beginning of the month the Brighton 10 mile race.

Now he will look to do Sussex and England proud by producing the goods in the Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
