Footage of a 14-year-old Luke Littler hitting a nine-darter is doing the rounds as he continues to take the PDC World Darts Championship by storm.

The teenager, from Runcorn, is guaranteed to take home £50,000 in prize money after recording dominant wins over Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding, Matt Campbell and Raymond van Barneveld at the Ally Pally.

He will face in-form world number 28 Brendan Dolan as he bids to reach the semi-final of this winter's tournament.

It has been a remarkable journey for the 16-year-old, who first picked up a dart at 18 months.

Littler has gone on to lift a number of titles, including the England Youth Grand Prix, the Isle of Man Masters and JDC MVG Masters, where he recorded a nine-darter against Dutch opponent Tinus van Tiel.

After overcoming Elonwy Thomas, Hannah Meek, Mitchell Elliott-Bailey and Canada’s Ethan Marshall on his way to the quarter-finals, Littler recorded an average of 94.75 in his 4-1 victory over Van Tiel.

In fact, the Warrington-born player threw that special nine-dart finish in the fifth and final leg.

As you can see from the footage below, Littler hit a 174 and a 177 before converting a 150 checkout as his Dutch opponent watched on, almost in disbelief at the unfolding scenes.

Littler would go on to beat Bram van Dijk and Leighton Bennett at the Europa Point Sports Complex before picking up his £1,000 prize money, but it was this nine-darter that grabbed the headlines.

Check out that special moment below.

Littler has gone on to establish himself as one of darts' top talents, and recently became the youngest player to win the PDC World Youth Championship after beating Gian van Veen.

Now, after reaching the quarter-finals of this year's World Darts Championship, the teenager believes he can go all the way.

"It is an incredible feeling," he said after Saturday's win over Raymond van Barneveld. "My cover shooting was unbelievable, my doubles got me over the line, and I think I am daring to dream now. I have seen the draw.

"I am only three wins away now. I'm so young, only 16 and I have got nothing to fear, I have got no-one to fear, my game can be better than anyone's on the day and I have shown it there against one of the greatest who have graced that stage.

"With performances like that I can go all the way."


Litter added: "I've pictured myself winning it. I look at the draw and see Brendan next and then Chris Dobey against Rob Cross in the other quarter. I fancy myself. I do fancy myself."
