Luke Littler shows off new look in Premier League Darts debut as 17-year-old looks to cause instant upset

LUKE LITTLER showed off a new look on his Premier League Darts debut this evening.

The 17-year-old took to the oche with a freshly shaven face at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff.

He went head-to-head with Luke Humphries in his Premier League debut and cruised straight through to the semi-finals with a 6-2 win.

Fans were loving his performance, with the crowd chanting ‘There’s only one Luke Littler’ throughout.

The teenager will now face Michael Smith in the semi-final.

Prior to the tournament start, Littler insisted that he was not intimidated by the established "big boys" of the sport.

He said: "Surely, I’m one of them now! I’ve joined them in the big boys’ league. I know what’s in store. I can handle it all myself.

"If not, I’ll speak to my dad and manager, if it all goes wrong.

";But I’m grown up enough to know what’s going to happen.

"This is what I signed up for — to play with the best of the best. I’ve got to somehow beat them every week."

He added: "I know I can beat anyone when I’m on it.

"I’ve seen quite a few people say, ‘Will pressure get to him?’ But I just do what I do best. Throw my darts at the board."
