American Football linebacker Team ranked fourth in world with hopes of Paralympic medalA former American football linebacker is to take charge of Great
Britain Wheelchair Rugby, in what those within the sport hope will be a year of Paralympic success. Jason Brisbane will become one of the few black people to hold a senior management role in
UK sport when he takes up his position in July.
Brisbane will replace David Pond as chief executive. Pond has overseen substantial growth in the sport over the past decade, and an international team ranked fourth in the world with hopes of a medal in Tokyo later this summer, should the Paralympic Games go ahead.
