Greg also represented Britain at the World and European Championships as well as representing England at the Commonwealth Games. He is still now reportedly the British record holder for long jump both outdoors and indoors.

The 35-year-old has also recently dabbled in sledding. He joined the Team GB bobsleigh setup and in 2021 was chosen for the team that would compete in the Winter Olympics, however, they did not do well enough at the 2021–22 Bobsleigh World Cup to qualify.
