Team UK finished a triumphant Invictus Games in Australia with another medal on the last day of competition.

The wheelchair basketball side pushed past New Zealand to win 32-6 in the bronze medal match.

Wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball player James Rose said the experience was more than just about winning medals.

The former 2 YORKS soldier has been recovering from depression and anxiety after he suffered an injury in 2009.

He said taking part in the competition had given him a “massive confidence boost” and pulled him out of a “dark hole” which had consumed him for 18 months.

"Sport has got me where I want to be now, I feel a lot better."

Team UK’s James Rose compares the quality of the competition in the wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball.

The former 2 YORKS soldier also says he will be following up his Invictus Games experience with a Personal Training Course.

"Without sport, I wouldn't be where I am now. It just gives you loads more confidence to do what you want to do," he said.
