The esports athlete has been competing on the professional stage for more than 7 years, achieving solid results along the way.

Declan began his professional career in February 2018. From then until the spring of 2019, he played for several lesser-known mixes but struggled to make a breakthrough. His first notable success came after joining Paradox Esports, where he earned a silver medal at the Australian Esports Federation Season 2. However, another difficult period followed, as he joined several teams without winning titles. The winning momentum returned in April 2020 when, with VERTEX Esports Club, he secured silver at LPL Pro League 2020 Season 1.

After that, the Australian player signed with Chiefs Esports Club, where he continued to collect achievements.
