[5] Although Broom-Edwards understood he had an impairment, he never considered himself as disabled, but after watching the London 2012 Summer Paralympics he realized that he could be eligible to be classified as a para-sport competitor.

There he competed in the T42/T44 high jump event where he took silver, losing to world record holder Maciej Lepiato of Poland.

At the 2016 IPC Athletics European Championships in Grosseto, Jonathan was pushed into a Bronze medal position in the mixed class competition due to a change in Razza points system.

Following a change of coaching set up following the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic games, Jonathan went on to achieve a further Silver medal at the London 2017 IPC World Championships in a close battle with rival Lepiato.

Following an intense 18 month rehab journey, Broom-Edwards went on to secure his first Gold medal at the 2019 IPC World Championships in Dubai.

2023 again brough injury with two Hamstring tears of Broom-Edwards' jumping leg 8 weeks before the IPC World Championships in Paris.

When both athletes achieved perfect scorecards in the competition, they opted to mirror the scenario at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics when Barshin and Tamberi decided to settle for the same outcome.

Five and a half weeks after surgery, Broom-Edwards was able to return to jumping form enough to compete at his third Paralympics in Paris, 2024, achieving a respectable 5th Place after the significantly interrupted preparations for the Games.
