Ryan Searle signs contract with darts manufacturer Harrows

Ryan Searle has quickly found shelter with another darts manufacturer after it was announced on New Year's Day that the partnership with Loxley Darts had ended.

Searle has signed a contract with Harrows Darts, which also has such top players as Dave Chisnall and Damon Heta under contract. ''We are delighted to announce that 4-time PDC title winner Ryan ‘Heavy Metal’ Searle has put pen to paper on a long term deal and become the newest member of Team Harrows,'' the manufacturer writes on X. "We look forward to a very successful partnership!"

With the arrival of Searle comes a special addition to the assortment of the British arrow supplier. Searle typically throws 34-gram darts. This weight is by far the heaviest of all darts on the professional circuit. Usually darts of between 21 and 24 grams are used.
