A PENARTH Olympic athlete has become a sports nutrition company's latest brand ambassador.

Brett Morse, 26, first picked up a discus at the age of fifteen at a school sports day has gone from strength to strength, from representing Wales at British schools championships to becoming the youngest athlete in discus history to make a World Championship final at senior level.

However it’s the next two years that will define Brett’s career, as he represents team GB in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Brett said, “As an athlete it is very important that I choose the correct sports nutrition sponsor for many reasons, first and foremost the products have to be safe which means they have been HFL batch tested, to ensure that there is no cross contamination issues.

“I would like to thank JBC Nutrition for the support they have given me since I joined the team, and together we will make a mark in Rio.”

Rachel Clarke, of JBC, said “We are very proud to have an athlete of Brett’s calibre on board and are delighted to be supplying him with all his nutritional supplements through Rio 2016 and beyond. Brett’s attitude and work ethic means he fits right in with our current team of ambassadors such as Amanda Gisby, Darryl Taylor, Mizan Rahman, Jason Vaughan, Chloe Beth and Thumper Todd.”
