"I've played since I was 18 but only really started to take it seriously in the past 7 years once I started playing County Darts".
'The Cannon' won a Tour Card at the Q-School in 2019, but lost it after two seasons. He recently made it to a final on the PDC Challenge Tour, the level below the Pro Tour for Tour Card holders.
