Luke Littler unveils plan to make darts history ahead of World Championships after ‘absolute whirlwind’ 12 months
LUKE LITTLER has revealed an ambitious plan to see him make darts history.
The 17-year-old has already lit up the darts circuit after bursting onto the scene at the World Championships last year.
"[I want to do] even bigger and better things and win multiple titles all across the country."
Littler has already landed titles in England with the Grand Slam of Darts, but will be hoping to go one better and win the World Championships this year.

While not a ranking PDC event, the Premier League saw Littler compete across the UK and Ireland, winning nights in Belfast, Manchester, Liverpool, Aberdeen and London.
His World Series of Darts win in September took place in Amsterdam to check that off his list, though he finished runner-up at the Dutch Masters earlier this year and will doubtless be out to win it next year.
Meanwhile, he has also won the Bahrain Darts Masters and Poland Darts Masters, while finishing runner-up in the Australian Darts Masters.
His participation in the Players Championships and European Tour have also landed him titles across several countries, including Belgium and Austria.
Wins were also forthcoming in Wigan and Milton Keynes as well as Leicester in the PDC Development Tour.
Littler now ranks No.5 in the world rankings and could overtake Rob Cross for No.4 if he wins the Player Championship finale this weekend.
