Harley’s Progress Is Going From Strength To Strength
Some of you may be familiar with our Rising Star Harley Towler – who’s been emerging as a top talent in the world of badminton recently. We’ve updated you on his story in the past, but since then his progress has gone from strength to strength.
Earlier this year Harley was named Loughborough University Sportsman of the year after winning both the Men’s and Mixed Doubles Badminton titles at the British Universities Individual Championships and also the British Universities Team Championship as Captain.
He is currently a member of the Senior England Performance Programme and regularly trains with the National team. Earlier this month he competed in the inaugural London Grand Prix Gold at the Copper Box Olympic Venue where he reached the Quarter Final in the Men’s Doubles.
In the 2012/13 season Harley reached three Badminton Europe Circuit finals in the Czech Republic, Wales and Portugal and reached No.56 in the World Rankings.
Some of Harley’s best results to date include:
- 2 Silver Medals at U19 National Championships March 2011 in Men’s & Mixed Doubles
- Quarter-Final Portugese International Mixed Doubles April 2012
