She said: “After Rio I achieved my ultimate goal and then I thought ‘what else can I do?’
“This opportunity came about and I couldn’t pass it up. I love challenging myself and experiencing new things.”
It was recently confirmed that Clegg, who has a deteriorating eye condition and is registered blind, has been selected for the Great Britain squad for the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai.
She will be making her return to the track in November in the T11 200m event, where she will be guided by Thomas Somers.
