Skelley made his Paralympic debut in Rio but missed out on a medal
British pair Chris Skelley and Elliot Stewart won bronze on the final day of the IBSA Judo Grand Prix in Warwick.
In the -100kg semi-finals, world number one Skelley lost to Uzbekistan's Sulaymon Alaev before beating his compatriot Sharif Khalilov with a tomoe nage in golden score to win bronze.
Stewart faced team-mate Cameron Bradley for the -90kg bronze after losing to Helios Latchoumanaya of France.
And a single waza-ari score was enough for Stewart to clinch the medal.
Bradley beat Venezuela's Hector Espinoza in the repechage to set up the bronze-medal contest.
The event was the final Paralympic qualification event before the Tokyo Games this summer.
Great Britain's Paralympic judo team is due to be announced on Monday, 5 July, alongside the Olympic judo team.
