Dartsnews : You have also signed for Red Dragon recently alongside another talent in Luke Humphries, what are your thoughts on this and when will your darts be available??
Ryan : Signing with Red Dragon was a massive bonus for me I've always used the same set of darts from there and having there backing is a massive confidence boost, my darts will be available in the next book, I'm excited for everyone too see them they feel great.
Dartsnews : As many people may know, you are a barber as a job, how do you juggle playing darts and cutting hair and do you ever envisage yourself as switching to becoming a full time darts pro??
Ryan : I'm very lucky to have a job at nicks barbers where I can have all the time off I need for darts as it's a very busy schedule, I love my job so would never give it up unless I had too, but full time dart player would be a dream come true, but I'm happy doing both.
