Mervyn King has been in superb form as of late including reaching the final at the Players Championship Finals losing to Michael van Gerwen in an epic.

King has recently started using new darts but as a whole for him, he believes the love of the game has returned and that also retirement is definitely not in sight.
“The last couple of months, I seem to be getting even better. I’m hitting more 100 averages than I used to. We’re all of sudden hitting 105 and 106’s so maybe the change but also the love of the game has returned for me. It’s not only my love of the game, it’s the new equipment I’m using. It’s made me want to use them as well,” said King on the Good Darts podcast.
“I still feel like I’m in my 20’s, I hope the end isn’t in sight. I’ve fell in love with the game again so it’s the case that I want to play so I don’t want that end to rear it’s ugly head. I want to be able to carry on for five or six years, another 10 years who knows. While I’m still enjoying it and while I’m making money at it, I will carry on.”
