In 2002 he also reached the last 16 of the World Championship. After failing to regain his form, he retired from snooker in 2006.
Since 1998, he has been an official coach for World Snooker. He has established two junior clubs in the South Wales area, helping to increase participation levels and improve playing performance amongst local snooker players.
In April 2008 he worked on a pilot scheme, called ‘KIS’, set up by Cuefactor in conjunction with the Paul Hunter Foundation, the aim being to help generate interest in snooker amongst disadvantaged young people.
Having come through the amateur rounds, he then defeated Anthony McGill and Nigel Bond to reach the last 32, where he lost to Joel Walker.
