My Refereeing Journey
At fourteen years old having joined the Glamorgan County Youth setup, we played a friendly match against the Senior squad and the regular caller didn’t turn up. I filled in for most of the day and the Senior squad asked me to start refereeing their County games. Three years later I was asked to referee at the Winmau World Masters at seventeen years old, and from there was asked to referee at the Lakeside World Championships at aged eighteen, becoming the youngest referee to do so. Four years later I joined the PDC and in 2021 became a mainstay of the refereeing roster. In 2018 I was made the PDC’s LGBT+ Ambassador and one of Stonewall’s first Sport Champions, and in 2024 became a Global Ambassador for the Winmau Dartboard Co.
In 2025 I refereed the second half of the World Darts Championship Final between Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen, becoming the voice of Luke Littler’s first World Darts Championship victory and becoming the first openly gay man to referee a World Darts Championship Final. This led to appearances on BBC Wales News At Six, Saturday Live on BBC Radio Four, Attitude Magazine, Queerty Magazine, The Times, The Telegraph, the LGBT+ Sport Podcast and many more.
I now have my own podcast available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple & Amazon and everywhere you get your podcasts from! It’s called Tops and Tales where I sit down with the world’s best darts players to talk about their careers and their lives away from the oche.
My career has taken me all over the world, from Australia and New Zealand to the Falkland Islands. To Finland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Belgium, Germany, even the Houses of Parliament and on board the HMS Queen Elizabeth!
Thank you for visiting my site, and I look forward to sharing more of my journey with you!
