Ronan Higginson was a contestant in Series 87. He's an A-Level Student from Ramsgate in Kent.

Higginson is an Apterite who has reached No. 1 on the Apterous pro rank leaderboard. He firstly participated in episodes eighty-one and eighty-two of ZoomDown, triumphing against Philip Aston but losing to Tom Cappleman. He later appeared in ZoomDown Series 4, winning two games before losing on a crucial conundrum to Ahmed Mohamed, but after tetrachamp Adam Beach was unable to participate in the series finals, he qualified for the finals as the number 8 seed.

In the quarter-finals of ZoomDown Series 4, he caused an upset when he defeated number one seed Brendan Whitehurst on a crucial conundrum to win with 99 points to Whitehurst's 88 points. He then went on to beat number 5 seed Adam Dexter with 112 – 81, thus making a spot in the grand final against Rachael Montgomery. However, Rachael gained the lead when Ronan had coatage ☓ disallowed and also got one away on the numbers round after, when Rachael had gotten it spot on. He did eventually claw back with COWRIES, forcing a crucial conundrum, but Ronan had buzzed incorrectly with scramload ☓ with only 0.8 seconds left, thus relegating him to the runner-up spot.
