Coggan started playing club rugby in 2001, and in 2002 was invited on a World Rugby Tour with the GB development squad. The tour took in San Diego, Sydney, Singapore, and Cape Town. In 2003 he participated in the World Wheelchair Games in Christchurch, New Zealand, and then went on to gain his first full international cap playing in the 2004 Paralympics in Athens.
Since then, Coggan has been a constant fixture in the GB squad and is a veteran of six Paralympic Games. Considered to be one of the best 0.5s in the game, he has won best in class at the 2006 World Championships and in the 2009 and 2011 European Championships.
Now one of the squad’s most senior members, Coggan is a role model to many of his team mates both on and off the court continuing to be an integral part of the squad.
