Jack Littlejohns
Captain of the men’s first team at Barnstaple Ability Football Club
Sport
Having played disability football in North Devon since 2013 its changed my whole life around and Barnstaple Ability Football club have been a tremendous factor behind it! On the pitch I strive to help the men’s first team in reaching their goals as a player and as a captain but off the pitch I’m always dedicated to help make sure that disabled people are given as many opportunities as possible to help develop them in the best way imaginable!
Having been bullied at school because of my learning disability I struggled massively as a child and the end goal overall is to make sure that nobody goes through the exact same thing as me regardless of their disability. I always enjoy the community work for our football club whether that’s by fundraising or promoting the club in any shape or form so that we can continue to help promote disability football in North Devon for boys and girls that want to make new friends as well as play league tournaments against different teams in the Devon Ability Counts Football League!
There’s no such thing as a disability if you have the ability to achieve it! Stay Kind, Be humble and work hard!”
