Now he will count on the backing of Unicorn Darts, one of the top manufacturers in darts going forward after signing a deal earlier this week.
“This is another great step up in my career. Unicorn are the longest-serving manufacturer in the sport," said Smith as per Unicorn Darts.
“They have done great things and had 21 World Champions down the years and I’m really looking forward to working with them, they are a great company.
“I’m hoping to kick on now, I’m building a really good platform for my career and joining Unicorn obviously enhances that.
“I believe in myself 100 per cent, especially since I won the European Championship.
“Even though the results haven’t all gone my way since then on TV, I still feel like I’ve played well in all of them.

“My 180s at the moment seem to be flying. I know that I’ve still got to work hard and keep my feet on the ground. I have got to kick on and grasp the opportunity.”
