Luke Littler is a household name and fan favourite after his storming run to the final of the 2024 World Darts Championship, aged just 16.
The teenager is continuing to thrill crowds across the country in the Premier League Darts, where he has now wrapped up a play-off place after a fourth nightly win of the season, in Aberdeen.
Where is Luke Littler from?
Littler spent his early years in Runcorn but now lives in nearby Warrington – a town between Liverpool and Manchester.
He captured attention across the globe at just 16 when he stormed to the final of the 2024 World Darts Championship.
He began training at the St Helens Darts Academy at the age of nine, under the watchful eye of co-founder Karl Holden.
“He was good when he was nine years old,” Holden said. “When he got to 10, when we ran the darts academy, we had a rule, to play on stage you had to be over 15. We had to change that for Luke because of his ability, he was just unbelievable.
“He was playing U21s when he was 10 because he was simply too good. He’s not just started playing good at the World Championship, he’s been playing darts for a while and got better and better every year. He wants to win, loves to win and you see him on stage, enjoying himself and just loving it, being a great darts player.
