Luke Humphries sealed a maiden PDC ranking title on Saturday evening seeing off Ryan Searle in the final of Players Championship 1 proving fifth times the charm after previously reaching multiple championship matches without success.

Humphries spoke afterwards and believes it will be a major final of the future and that they spoke pre tournament about reaching the final together and it happened.

"It feels amazing," said Humphries. "I've had some great achievements already in my career, but this tops everything.

"Me and Ryan are really close friends. We played practice games [together today] and actually both said we were loving the throw, feeling good today and let's make the final together.

"We knew we were in separately halves [of the draw] and said we could make the final, and we did.

"I've achieved a that one title but I feel like Ryan's the next person to go on and do incredible things. He's got that level that can beat anybody in the world.

"We're going to be looking at this year as a stepping stone for us to progress, and I believe in the next couple of years, with the talent that we've got, we could pick up a major title."
