Jack Neill has secured a place at the World Gymnastics Championships later this month.

The announcement came after the former Glyn School pupil won a bronze medal in the pommel horse competition and came fourth overall across all the gymnastic disciplines at the UK Schools Games last month.

He then followed this strong performance by finishing fourth in the pommel at the Northern European Championships in Limerick at the end of September.

The 18-year-old, who began training at Tolworth Gymnastics Club at the age of five, will join a team of six gymnasts, including Olympian Kieran Behan, who will represent Ireland at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Scotland.

The event, which runs from October 23 to November 1, is significant this year because it is gymnastics' main qualifying event for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
