Darts sensation Luke Littler made his debut for Sunday League football team this weekend and his first game in the Bolton, Bury and District Football League was a memorable one.

On Thursday, 2025 world champion Littler picked up his fifth nightly win in the 2025 Premier League darts - going all the way in Birmingham and beating Michael van Gerwen in the final.

'The Nuke' looks good value to retain his title - flying high at the top of the leaderboard with 35 points going into night 14 in Leeds next week.

But just days later and Littler swapped the oche for the football pitch as he turned out for Winton Yanited - Winton Wanderers' Under 18's side coached by his streamer pal 'Angry Ginge'.

In their very first season, the team were crowned champions and celebrated after beating Cherrybrook Celtic 5-2 at The Plumb Factory Stadium, home of Daisy Hill, on Saturday.

Littler, who made an appearance to watch the new Baller League Ginge is managing in on Monday, had been hinted as a new signing on the club's social media channels and videos of his cameo emerged online.

Wearing the No.180 on the back of his bright orange shirt and in his full kit, Littler was brought on to take a penalty in his very first contribution in the clash.

The 18-year-old made no mistake from 12 yards, sending the keeper the wrong way and rolling it into the back of the net with his left foot.

Littler is known to have a bit of an edge when it comes to darts and he stared out the goalkeeper and taunted him with his arms out before being mobbed by his teammates.

Littler then signalled to the bench for him to be substituted straight away in a hilarious moment.

With the taste for silverware at the moment, Littler was part of the trophy lift afterwards and was seen with the winners' medal around his neck after a solo appearance as he posed for pictures with fans.

Yanited's season has been documented in a YouTube series which has racked up plenty of views, with the next episode promising to be the best yet.

Littler, meanwhile, has pulled out of the upcoming European Grand Prix in Germany this weekend but told SPORTbible that he will play in the World Cup of Darts in June.

“Yeah one hundred per cent I will do it," he told SPORTbible in an exclusive interview when asked about his interest in playing in the World Cup of Darts, where he will partner Luke Humphries for England.

"Me and Luke are the top two English ranked players in the Order of Merit and we get the first choice of saying yes or no," he said.

“Luke won it last year with Michael Smith and it’s a big thing winning the World Cup for your country.

"Phil Taylor and James Wade won it plenty of times back in the day and I’m sure Luke will want to go back to back and I want to get my first one.

“If we’re on our form on the day it’s going to take some beating.”
