Clayton set to keep plasterer job ahead of Premier League debut: "They say if it's not broken, don't mend it"

Jonny Clayton will make his Premier League debut this year after his superb display to claim The Masters a few weeks ago in Milton Keynes.

Questions were raised about Clayton's full-time job as a plasterer for his local council and whether he would keep it but speaking on S4C's Jonathan programme alongside Nigel Owens, Jonathan Davies and Sarra Elgan, he revealed he wouldn't be going full time in darts yet.

“At the moment, I will stay on, that’s what I’m thinking. They say ‘if it’s not broken, don’t mend it’, so I’m just going to carry on for now. I do enjoy my work. With Covid, the Premier League won’t be played like usual, when it’s 16 weeks away if you get into the finals," said Clayton.

“There’s going to be blocks of Premier League games, so I wouldn’t need to take the 16 weeks off. So I’m going to keep things as they are at the moment.

“In the top 32, only two of us have jobs, the other one is Dirk van Duijvenbode, who is an aubergine farmer.”
