Career
He has reached the last-16 in four world ranking events (three in Asia, in three different seasons, and at the 2008 Grand Prix), but has yet to progress beyond that stage. He has yet to qualify for the final stages of the World Championship. While practising in 2003 he pulled off the remarkable feat of compiling three 147 breaks in 4 frames, the only player to do southern
He hasn"t been able to bring that kind of form to the tournaments, but he has compiled a 147 in tournament play.
He is noted for taking a long time to play safety shots. He lost to Peter Ebdon 5–2 and Ding Junhui 9–3 in the last 32 of both tournaments respectively, but his consistent performances have taken him up to number 36 in the 2008/2009 rankings.
The 2011/12 season was rather average only qualifying for 2 of the 8 ranking events, the United Kingdom Championship and the German Masters, both losing in the first round to Mark Allen and Stephen Lee. At the end of the season, he finished Number 69 outside of the top 64, but he played in the Q School events but didn"t manage to qualify for the main tour by reaching the Quarter-finals in any of the 3 events and then lost his place in the main tour soon afterwards.
