Coward-Holley was a promising rugby player as a teenager but two serious back injuries involving broken vertebrae ended his playing. In order to remain active, he turned to shooting, a sport he had done with his father between the ages of 8 and 12 before taking up rugby.[2]
He participated at the 2019 World Shotgun Championships, where he became the first Briton to win a world title in an individual Olympic shotgun discipline.[3] He went on to win two medals at the 2021 European Shooting Championships, including trap gold.[4]
He qualified to represent Great Britain at the 2020 Summer Olympics, securing bronze in the men’s trap.[5][6]
