Hello,

Welcome to my OFFICIAL website – I hope you find it entertaining and resourceful.

The 2010-11 season is in full swing after an earlier start than we are used to – but you won’t hear me complaining because it means I’m doing what I love, playing snooker.

These are exciting times for the sport, with Barry Hearn leading us into a new dawn with more tournaments, fresh innovations and a packed calendar, meaning we really will be full-time snooker professionals.

The 2009-10 season saw me regain my Masters title at Wembley and I reached the semi-finals of the World Championship in Sheffield. Although my ranking dropped two places to No.9, I still feel as though it was a relatively successful campaign.

However, there is always room for improvement. I’ve already won the Six Reds World Championship this season and, while it’s always nice to call yourself a world champion, I will keep working hard towards my ultimate goal – the big one at the Crucible.

I am also back in the Premier League. I missed being involved last season so it's fantastic to be back, and I hope to go one step further than in 2008 and win the title.

Thank you for all your letters and emails, please keep them coming in. I do my best to reply to as many as I can.

I hope my website keeps you updated with all my tournament and exhibition news, as well as providing a rare insight through the picture galleries and my blog, which I really enjoy doing.

And please follow the links on this page which will take you to my official Facebook and Twitter pages. I believe it’s important to keep you updated with my progress as often as I can, and I really enjoy seeing your comments.

Don’t forget to have a look at the shop, where you can buy a whole host of my very own “Jester from Leicester” merchandise – I hope to see plenty of T-shirts, stickers and keyrings at tournaments, because knowing you’re there supporting me is a massive boost.

A big thank you to all my friends and fans for their support, and also to my sponsors, who I look forward to working with again this season.

All the very best,

Mark
