FYLDE front row Pete Altham was diagnosed with deafness aged 18-months but he is not letting his condition stop him from playing the sport he loves.
Altham, below, who wears hearing aids to help, said: “I just play what’s in front of me. It’s all about the visual aspects of the game and that’s why I always say to the players to look at what is in front of you and play with your eyes open.”
