Nick Brett’s most famous bowl has been seen by millions, but he knows it is what he does in Glasgow that will matter most.

Brett became a viral sensation for his awe-inspiring shot that threaded the eye of a needle at the World Indoor Bowls Championships in 2020, with millions watching the ‘wonder bowl’ clip online.

The Peterborough bowler found a gap of less than six inches to perfectly reach the jack in the pairs final, in a fitting display of his skill and precision.

Brett had already made his name in the bowls world, with the civil servant a prolific performer at international level.

He has seven world indoor golds to his name, and added two Commonwealth medals to his collection on his Team England debut at Birmingham 2022.

His triples gold medal alongside Louis Ridout and Jamie Chestney came after a thrilling comeback against Australia, before the trio combined with Sam Tolchard for fours bronze.
