Jason Hackett

Initially introduced to bridge at the age of 11 by mother Olivia, by 16 the twins, Justin and Jason, were the youngest ever players in the World Olympiad in Miami, and soon they went on to become European Champions and World Junior champions.

Jason is based in Manchester, England and along with his other expert family members, Jason has also shared in the Hacketts' unprecedented success. Jason offers a diplomatic answer to the obvious question; which twin is best? "It goes up and down, it's fairly even. The strength is in the partnership rather than the individual thing."

Jason has represented England numerous times in the European Championships (winning a bronze medal in 2014 - later upgraded to a silver medal following the disqualification of the winning Israeli team), Bermuda Bowl and World Olympiad. He has also won the Gold Cup, Crockfords Cup and Spring Foursomes multiple times.

With so much already achieved, Jason has his eye on one particular prize, the Bermuda Bowl, "probably the biggest prize in Bridge".
