2020: Reaches the last 32 of the European Masters in Austria, notably beating Ryan Day 5-0 before losing to Barry Hawkins.
2021: Claims the biggest title of his career as he dethrones defending champion Jimmy White 5-3 in the final at the Crucible Theatre to win the World Seniors Snooker Championship. That also earns him a spot at the Champion of Champions, where he loses to Judd Trump.
