‘Childhood dream’ to be achieved for Walsall man at world darts

With millions of people watching the event around the world, he admitted reaching it was “a great achievement”.

“I’ve kind of been steadily improving over the years on the pro-tour circuit, like the four events and Euro tour stages… but to actually make the worlds is like that childhood dream come true.

“[It’s] not just so much the prize money, but the doors everything opens.

“It’s the world championships, a great opportunity, it’s life-changing. Everything’s there to push on and try and achieve those goals.”

The Coventry University business degree graduate’s nickname is The Scholar, coined by a previous sponsor, he explained.

Dennant’s walk-on song for matches is also relevant to the West Midlands, he said.

“It’s Red Right Hand by the Arctic Monkeys, linked to the Black Country with the [TV drama] Peaky Blinders’ theme tune.”
