At the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Bedggood won a gold medal in the Men's 10m platform and bronze medals in the Men's 3m Synchronized (with Matthew Carter) and the Men's 10m Synchronized (alongside Dec Stacey).[5]

On the second day of diving competition at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, held in Birmingham, England, Bedggood won a bronze medal in the 10 metre synchronized platform with partner Cassiel Rousseau, scoring 412.56 points to finish less than 18 points behind the gold medal duo from England and less than 2 points behind the silver medal duo from Canada.[6][7][8]
