Humphries sets Premier League dream after UK Open run: “I want to be playing the best players in the world week-in, week-out”

Luke Humphries reached the final of the UK Open this past weekend losing out to James Wade in the final.

But Humphries showed some of his best darts over the weekend including against Michael Van Gerwen but ultimately just came up short against Wade.

Speaking after his final defeat, the Newbury ace made his ambitions very clear including a full debut in the Premier League.

"It's coming to that time of my career now, I want to start winning major titles," said Humphries.

"I strive for big things in darts. This is not just a final for me, it puts me in the Grand Slam [of Darts] as well which is another tournament I can look forward to.

"I want to be in the Premier League, I want to be playing the best players in the world week-in, week-out. I think I've got the game, I really do think I've got the game.

"[Sunday] wasn't my night but I'm very proud of what I've achieved this weekend. It's been an incredible weekend, an emotional weekend for me.
