At the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships, David advanced to the final after successfully winning a draw of lots and finished 6th in the final. In the semi-finals, David and Japanese athlete, Shusei Nomoto, tied for the final non-automatic qualifying position with a time of 7.565. As there were no additional lanes available, a drawing of lots took place which saw David advance to the final as a result of his race bib labelled "King" being randomly drawn from a bag.
David is a three times British champion over 110 metres hurdles (2017, 2019, 2020) and three times British champion over the 60 metres hurdles (2019, 2020, 2023) [4]
