Luke Littler made history earlier this year by becoming the youngest darts world champion ever at just 17 years old. Now, after taking the darts world by storm, 'The Nuke' is set to be named an honorary citizen of his hometown.
During a special ceremony on Monday, the Warrington Borough Council will formally recognize and reward the achievements of the now 18-year-old Littler. Born in Warrington, he moved back to the town when he was six years old and has since become one of its most famous sporting figures.
Since making his PDC Pro Tour debut in 2024, Littler has been unstoppable, collecting an impressive 11 PDC titles. His achievements include victories in the Premier League Darts, Grand Slam of Darts, and World Series of Darts Finals. Most notably, he clinched the World Championship, defeating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.
The official nomination from Warrington Council details Littler’s career from its earliest stages, noting that he first picked up a dart at just 18 months old and later joined the St Helens Darts Academy at the age of eight.
Littler’s success has been widely celebrated in his hometown. Earlier this month, rugby league club Warrington Wolves announced that they would rename their stadium in his honor for the opening match of the Super League season.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
