Karakal Profile, Greg Lobban

Inverness-born Greg Lobban is Scotland's top squash player, twice Scottish National Champion and has represented his country at the Commonwealth Games.

Sheffield based Greg first displayed his PSA mettle at the 2012 Imet Open in Slovakia, claiming the title after being seeded eighth. The following years saw more success with PSA titles in Malaysia, Switzerland, the USA, England and a proud home victory at the North of Scotland Open.

2016 was a mixed year for Greg when, after clawing his way into the World's top 40 for the first time, a hamstring injury, sustained in Chicago, ended his season prematurely. But he bounced back in 2017 when, in his first run out after injury he reached the final at the Tring Open in England. This remarkable achievement was surpassed only a weeks later with victories at the Vitesse Stortford Squash Classic and a brace of PSA Tour victories at the New Zealand International Classic in Palmerston North and his first M15 title at the PSA ILT-Community Trust NZ Southern Invercargill Squash Open. Now Greg has claimed his 10th PSA Tour title at the Cleveland Skating Club Squash Open in Ohio, USA.
