ABOUT:
Steve is a highly talented and hugely respected Team England international who is adept at all methods. He is particularly well known for his skills with the waggler and slider, which have been finely honed on regular trips to Ireland, where he also loves to fish.
Growing up in the East Midlands means he has mastered canals, rivers and lakes and loves his team fishing. He has done plenty of travelling over the years competing in high-profile events, at both domestic and international levels.
He is a European individual gold medalist and still a vital member of the current Drennan Team England squad and a regular traveling partner with team mate Alan Scotthorne.
