Jamie Wilson

Wilson turned pro at the age of just 16 in 2020 after coming through Q School. In the third and final event he won six matches, culminating in a 4-3 defeat of Haydon Pinhey.

“It was unbelievable,” said Wilson. “After Haydon shook my hand, at the end of the final match, I asked myself if I had really done it and if it was real. I just wanted to jump around, my adrenaline was through the roof and I was completely buzzing. I really did not think it would be possible. It is crazy to think that I am a professional now.

“I got into cue sports because my dad put a pool table in our garden and built a shed around it. At first he built boxes in around the side so I could reach. I absolutely loved it, started taking it more seriously and entered snooker competitions.

“I can’t wait to travel and see the world. All I’ve wanted to do since being a kid was to play the top pros.”
