Jermaine Jenas is put through his paces at wheelchair rugby by Great Britain's stars as the ex-footballer reveals he is a 'little sore' after taking some 'heavy hits'

Former Tottenham and Newcastle star Jermaine Jenas tried his hand at wheelchair rugby this week.

The sport is fast-growing after Great Britain won gold at the Tokyo 2020 Paralymics, with 34 clubs in total across the UK.

Those teams play across three disciplines of the sport - Paralympic wheelchair rugby, wheelchair rugby fives and three-vs-three wheelchair rugby.

And Jenas, alongside rugby players from Saracens and Harlequins, took part in a training session with some of Britain's biggest stars, just a year out from the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.
