DISABLED powerlifter Keith Bell is waiting to discover if he has qualified as a sports coach.

Keith, 43, from Upper Stratton, is a paralympic bronze medallist who has won gold at European competitions.

He is now hoping to become one of the country's first disabled exercise specialists.

Last week Keith, who has cerebral palsy, completed a course in exercise referral run by the Wright Foundation.

He had to complete coursework, which he sent off for marking on Friday.

Keith, who is a sports masseur at the Recreation Centre in Highworth, will get the results in two weeks.

If he qualifies, Keith plans to work with people whose doctors have told to take more exercise.
