LITTLER MAKES BIG MANAGEMENT SWITCH TO TARGET DARTS
14/10/2025 By Aaron Nijjar
LUKE LITTLER has signed a new management deal with Target Darts.
‘The Nuke’ has officially made the switch to be managed directly by the manufacturer that has backed him since he was 12 years old.
The company will manage every aspect of the Warrington ace’s professional and commercial commitments.
World No. 2 Littler’s decision comes after splitting from Martin Foulds’ ZXF Management, the firm that helped guide him from a junior prodigy into one of the sport’s biggest global stars.
Target Darts said in a statement: “We’ve worked closely with Luke and his family for many years and are proud to have been part of his incredible journey.
“Luke’s professionalism, focus, and natural talent make him a truly special player, and we’re committed to providing the support and structure he needs to reach even greater heights.”
It’s another major milestone for Littler, who has already lifted the World Championship, Premier League, World Matchplay, and World Grand Prix titles before his 19th birthday.
Littler added: “Target has been part of my career from the very beginning, and I’ve always had a great relationship with everyone there.
“I’m really happy to have their backing as I continue to focus on my game and prepare for the big tournaments ahead.”
The change brings both his management and sponsorship under one umbrella, creating a stable, streamlined setup at a time when Littler’s profile continues to soar worldwide.
Teen sensation Luke Littler returns to action today at Players Championship 31 in Wigan as he looks to reignite his campaign on the floor circuit.
Littler has slipped outside the top 64 in the Players Championship Order of Merit and now faces a fight to secure his spot at the season-ending Finals later this year.
Seven-times major winner Littler has withdrawn from several Players Championship events – which uses a separate ranking system.
Littler currently sits 70th in the standings, around £1,000 short of the cut-off, and will be aiming for a strong run in Wigan to keep his hopes alive.
