From prison to Grade 1 joy: Joe Colliver intent on making most of second chance

First published on Monday, January 15

Joe Colliver does not need anyone to tell him he got a second chance that not all who do wrong are afforded, but the manner in which he has rebuilt a career left in tatters following a prison sentence in 2016 is something of which he can be immensely proud.

From high-flying conditional to incarceration, Colliver lost everything – but thanks to the grit and determination of an archetypal Yorkshireman, not to mention the unwavering backing of some loyal supporters, the Sheffield-born 26-year-old has journeyed an emotional road to redemption, putting his name back in the headlines for all the right reasons.
