Move over, Luke Littler – there’s a new kid on the oche.
At just 12 years old, darts prodigy Jayden Walker is already making waves after pulling off a shock win over world No.1 Luke Humphries — and racking up a 102 average while doing it 😳
In an exclusive chat with sportbible, Walker revealed what Cool Hand Luke told him after the upset:
“He said I was the best 12-year-old he’d ever seen. Told me to keep practising and doing what I’m doing.”
🔥 Big praise from the Premier League champ – who also tipped Jayden to be one of the best in the world by the time he hits 18.
Walker’s journey started at five years old, throwing 180s after his dad built him a dartboard in a wooden frame. Fast-forward to now and he’s already played the likes of Scott Williams and pulled off a 145 checkout (yes, really) in the Modus Super Series.
Even Luke Littler – the reigning world champ and teen phenom – is showing love, backing Jayden after watching that jaw-dropping finish:
T20, T15, D20. Bang 💥
With darts blowing up and the next-gen stars stepping in young, Jayden Walker might just be the next name everyone’s chanting.
