Durrant leaves full-time job after 30 years to focus on darts career
News
Glen Durrant has left his full-time job on Wednesday, the three-time Lakeside champion confirmed on Twitter.
Durrant was with Beyond Housing for 30 years but has left to pursue his darting career. He resigned today and had his farewell on Tuesday.
The Teesside ace recently claimed his first PDC title after switching over and now he will set his sights on more success.
“I have had an incredible career in housing, first with Langbaurgh, then Redcar & Cleveland Council, Coast & Country and most recently Beyond Housing. It’s been an incredible journey and I’ve made wonderful friends along the way. But now it’s time for me to focus on being the best I can be at darts.''
“The support I have had from management and colleagues has been tremendous and without that, I wouldn’t have been able to pursue my darts career. I’ll miss everyone but I’m sure we will keep in touch and I know they will still be cheering me on.”

- Tennis has a protected ranking system for injuries and Golf has a system that as a Major winner you get invited back of a number of years regardless of your ranking. Barry Hearn gave Stephen Hendry a wildcard for some tournaments though he still had to enter at the qualification stage. Doubt the PDC would give Burnett an exemption as he has never won a PDC Major, same would apply to Steve Beaton. It’s a slippery slope to abandoning a meritocratic system, if the PDC did do so they could then (for example) award a place to Fallon Sherrock even though she has yet to qualify at any level for a tour card.Mysstree06-01-2025

- COME ON RICHIE BURNETT Surely a World Champion and player with the calibra of Richie should be exempt from ever losing a tour card and having to qualify.richieburnettrocks04-01-2025
- That's true, Richie. Taylor used to call it, "Manley's millions."MrYnyslas197103-01-2025
- The semi finals are so one sided nowadays. Bunting and Dobey had their final in the quarters and simply had no interest once they got behind and gave up., yet both will be whining for premier league places. Earning enough to keep the rankings is more important to most players. Peter Manley got to a final with Phil Taylor but was more happy that he had earned enough to pay off his mortgage and promptly and expectedly whitewashed by Philrichieburnettrocks03-01-2025

- Jealously.....a nothing happening player who has won nothing and only redeeming feature is his ever increasing bald spot. He'll be crying he deserves a premier league place next. Class A Tw4trichieburnettrocks31-12-2024
