He also finished eighth at the 2018 Minsk Arena Ice Star and fourth at the 2018 Volvo Open Cup. His only performance at the JGP in Egna was scored in eighteenth place. He also competed at two JGP in 2018, twelfth in Slovakia and eleventh in Lithuania.

Pair skating career 2021–22 season: Pairs debut with Vaipan-Law Following the 2018–19 figure skating season, Digby moved to pair skating, teaming up with Anastasia Vaipan-Law with Simon Briggs, Debi Briggs, and Jason Briggs becoming their coaching team.

Vaipan-Law/Digby made their international debut as a team at the 2021 CS Finlandia Trophy. They finished twelfth overall and recorded personal bests in all three segments of competition. The team competed at three more events throughout the fall, winning the 2021 Tayside Trophy and finishing fourth at both the 2021 Trophee Metropole Nice Côte d’Azur and the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup respectively.

2024–25 season Vaipan-Law/Digby started the season by finishing sixth at the 2024 CS Nebelhorn Trophy. Going on to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix series, the pair placed sixth at 2024 Skate America, earning personal best scores in the process. The team also talked about their next goals and the steps needed to close the gap to the top teams next season.

2025–26 season: Milano Cortina Olympics

Vaipan-Law/Digby opened the season by competing on the 2025–26 Challenger Series, placing eleventh at the 2025 CS Nebelhorn Trophy and fifth at the 2025 CS Trialeti Trophy. They rallied back with a strong free skate, however, placing fourth in that segment and moving up to sixth place overall. Vaipan-Law/Digby then went on to win silver at the 2025 Warsaw Cup. The following month, the pair competed at the 2026 European Championships in Digby's hometown of Sheffield, England, United Kingdom. They placed fifth in the short program and ninth in the free skate to finish seventh overall. "It wasn’t quite the best performance we could put out there," Digby admitted. "But overall we are proud of what we were able to do in front of that home crowd. Still such special moments that will last for a lifetime."

On February 6, Vaipan-Law and Digby competed in the 2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event where they placed ninth in the short program. “Stepping onto the Olympic ice was a really special feeling and something we truly enjoyed,” said Vaipan-Law. “Unfortunately, today was a bit of a mixed performance for us, but that’s something we’ll take forward and work hard on over the next week.” In the individual event, they placed 15th. They closed the season at the 2026 World Figure Skating Championships in Prague, placing 13th. In April they confirmed that they have split and that Digby has retired.
