Joe Cullen targeting World Series spot in 2018 after brilliant year

Joe Cullen has had a brilliant year on tour winning a spot inside the world's top 20 for the first time and he tasted victory in two big Players Championship tournaments. He has also reached two European Tour semi-finals and has now re-signed with Unicorn having his status increased to Maestro from Contender and spoke about his future in darts and also how far he has come in the past few years due to darts.

"The top 16 is a big target for me, but the one I am trying very hard to earn is a place in the Premier League," he said. "That is the ultimate for all darts players and if I can up my game even more, I hope I will be knocking on the door. It would also be great to experience the World Series in 2018."

"It is all about ambition, desire and belief. Two years ago I couldn't have afforded to buy I house, but now I have. Family is very important and that gives me a huge sense of achievement, but I feel like it is only the start of the journey."
