Jeff Smith claimed a brilliant North American Championship win to gain him his place in the World Championship later this year.
Smith became the second winner of the tournament after Willard Bruguier claimed the title last year and for the Silencer he has said he is so happy to be going back and that it is an amazing feeling knowing he will be on that stage again.
"I'm so happy to be going back to Ally Pally, it's going to be awesome," said Smith, who has previously starred in the World Cup of Darts and the Grand Slam of Darts.
"The feeling I get when I step on that stage is unreal, it's beyond anything I've ever experienced.
"Knowing that I will be playing there again is an amazing feeling for me, it's something you can't explain until you actually get up there and do it."
