Matt started playing basketball in secondary school. He originally started playing to help increase his fitness for playing rugby, but soon found that smaller guys could compete against the taller ones and loved the competitive nature of the sport.  He achieved Dyfed County caps in both sports.

A Carmarthen player, this is his first involment in sports administration and he's been Treasurer since West Wales Basketball Association was originally formed in 1996.

At 37 he's the oldest player in the senior squad and is looking forward to seeing a higher level of basketball played in West Wales and to the challenge of gaining promotion to Division 1.
