Darts sensation, 12, checks out 145 as followers model him the ‘new Luke Littler’
Luke Littler is yet to turn 18, but he’s already found a challenger to his crown.
Jayden Walker, 12, showed why he could be the man to challenge Littler in years to come as he took out 145 at a influencer darts event. The darting sensation was partnered with AngryGinge in a clash with JaackMate and Fallon Sherrock.
The Manchester United fan had left the 12-year-old with 145 on the board, and he promptly nailed a treble 20, treble 15 and tops to level the game 2-2. “He’s 12-years-old man,” exclaimed the MODUS commentator as Walker celebrated on the stage.

Littler himself is gearing back up for the Paddy Power PDC World Championship, which is set to get underway on December 15. It was at the Alexandra Palace last year where Luke Littler experienced his own meteoric rise to fame.
Littler, then just 16, thrilled the nation as he made his way all the way to the final – only to lose to Luke Humphries, who was playing the darts of his career. Littler has gone from strength-to-strength since then, winning the Premier League and the Grand Slam of Darts.
The Runcorn-born sensation could face Sherrock himself in his opening game at this year’s World Championship – with Littler scheduled to face the winner of Sherrock’s opening round clash with Ryan Meikle on December 21.
Littler was 12 when the Queen of the Palace made history in 2019 by becoming the first woman to win a match at the World Championship, eventually making it to the third round.
In an interview with Sky Sports, the 17-year-old remarked: “If I do come across her, I don’t know what the crowd would be like. Against Fallon, it might be a bit different. I don’t think anyone really missed it [when Sherrock reached the third round]. It was incredible to watch.“
