Nathan Aspinall Reveals Changes In Luke Littler Since Turning 18 5y6z3j
Luke Littler has become the biggest name in darts after less than two-years as a professional player and is currently top of his second Premier League campaign – winning in his debut campaign last year.
The Nuke currently sits second in the PDC Order of Merit, just behind World No.1 Luke Humphries and after the PDC announced an increase in prize money it is expected that the teenager will take the number one spot soon.
At the start of 2025, the youngster won his first PDC World Championship in only his second appearance at the tournament, which means in his opening two World Championships he has reached the final or won the competition.
He won the two biggest competitions in PDC darts before turning 17 and is arguably the most famous darts player to ever step foot on the oche – possibly suring Phil Taylor’s level of stardom.
One man who has seen the evolution of Littler’s career is Nathan Aspinall, who is signed to the same management as the teenager.
The Asp recently picked up his first Euro Tour title and is putting in some strong performances at the PDC Premier League – after battling with injury.
His bond with Littler is quite apparent on stage and in a recent interview with TalkSport, the Stockport-born darts player revealed how the Nuke has changed since turning 18.
Aspinall said (Via TalkSport): “He’s coming out of his shell a bit as well now with the boys. He used to play his darts and go back to his room and play on his PlayStation or whatever.
“He’s definitely grown up in the last 12 months. But I think he’s kind of had to really because of everything that’s been thrown at him.”
Darts players have also been known to have a drink during their matches, especially in previous generations and the Asp also revealed what Luke Littler drinks during their time at the hotel bar.
