Jack Rutter Highnam Visit5 April 2019 (by admin) |
On 11th March we welcomed to Highnam Academy Jack Rutter. At the age of 18 he was signed to Birmingham City FC and was on the verge of signing as a professional when he was knocked to the ground and suffered brain damage as a consequence.
The incident forced his retirement from professional football in 2010. On his Paralympic debut Jack helped the Paralympics GB side to secure a fifth-place finish.
It was inspirational to hear about Jack’s journey - thank you for your visit.
