Wade is currently World Number Eight and is a nine time major champion; so is another high profile addition to a team which also includes the likes of Premier League leader, Glen Durrant, Former World Youth Champion, Dimitri van den Bergh and Dutch ace Jermaine Wattimena.

Mac Elkin spoke about signing 'The Machine' and said that he is pleased to get the deal over the line ahead of darts returning with the aforementioned Summer Series; which will take in five Players Championship events.

“James is the winner of 9 Major Ranking Titles so to sign a player of this calibre is a massive coup for us; but he is also a close friend so negotiations went pretty smooth; we both made it clear what we wanted moving forward.

I’m really looking forward to the season starting again next month in Milton Keynes and to get James on board just in time for the summer series and World Matchplay just adds to the excitement.

I’ve been a long time admirer of James’s game; he is renown as probably the best combination finisher in the sport; so it’s now up to me to make sure I play my part in what I think will be a blossoming partnership.”
