“It was all getting too much but now I have given up my job and feel a lot more relaxed, confident and it is coming easier to me.
“I am playing a lot better and more confident when I am playing.”
This means his ambition is very much set with a spot on the PDC tour the overall goal for 'Ice Cold'.
“It has been my ambition for the last few years," he added.
“I have been taking darts seriously for the past seven years.
“It has been my ambition and I have missed out very minimally in the last couple of years.
“I will just take it on the chin and keep pushing.”
