Intro
Harry’s first Olympic memory was watching Steve Trapmore win gold in the men’s eight at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, never thinking that almost quarter of a century later he would be being coached by Steve on his own Olympic journey.

Harry has coxed the men’s eight to back to back World Championships in 2022 and 2023 and now has his sights on reaching the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. With his passion and knowledge of rowing, he already knows that when he hangs up the cox box, he’ll still be involved with the sport, giving back his experiences and expertise to the rowing community.
Harry is proud of his North West roots, so much so that he named his dog ‘Chester’, after his hometown.
At the Paris 2024 Olympic Rowing Regatta, Harry won gold in the Men’s eight in superb style.
