Mark Webster sees trophy-laden run continuing for Smith after World Championship: "I don't think he is going to stop"

Michael Smith finally got over his title duck in November winning the Grand Slam of Darts which opened up the floodgates for 'Bully Boy' who has now become World Champion.

Mark Webster doesn't believe it's going to stop either and thinks a trophy-laden run is on the way with more titles for the St Helens ace in the cabinet.

"He deserves it. It is a credit to him. He is the one person we thought could match Michael van Gerwen at the present time and he proved it there," said Webster as per Sky Sports. 

"He has gone away and learnt from those defeats. He has gone away and made himself stronger... and better equipped to win a major title.

"When Michael van Gerwen came back at him, he weathered the storm, and more titles surely to come.

"He has found the knack now of winning these games and World No 1 to go with it.

"A brilliant achievement for Smith and he works so hard on his game, he is so natural, is great to watch, and he will be a great world champion.

"He has played a great tournament Michael Smith, obviously winning it, but there were some matches where he had to dig in and he has done it and he showed every sort of level of performance he has got.

"He has played a brilliant event and capped it off in the best manner by winning a World Championship.

"He has grown as a player in the past few years and I don't think he is going to stop."
