Celtic wrestling recruited him and for three years whilst studying for his double degree in Computing and Sports Psychology, Harry and Celtic wrestling formed a tight bond. In his last match for the company Harry won the Welsh Amateur Wrestling belt and dropped it three weeks after making his debut for TWOStars in a hastily arranged match. During the three years Harry fought for C/W Harry held the Welsh Hardcore Title, which he did not lose for two years hence being given the nickname “Hardcore” from the fans.
