Mission Darts is delighted to announce the signing of Bedfordshire county youth star Addison Hefferon.
The 10-year-old is the youngest player to join the Mission Academy, but has already gained a lot of plaudits for his performances on the oche.
The Milton Keynes schoolboy took up darts two years ago and has quickly made an impression, reaching the final in three ADC Vault events.
Hefferon also made a quarter-final in the recent JDC Q-School weekend, pushing the reigning JDC world champion and Mission’s own Lex Paeshuyse all the way to a deciding leg.
Addison's dad, Adam Hefferon, said: "Addison eats, sleeps and breathes darts. He's so excited to have joined the Mission team and is grateful for the opportunity.
"It's only the start of his darts journey, but we are looking forward to seeing what else is in store for him. We are already so incredibly proud of him."
Darryl Fitton, Mission’s player development manager, added: “I first saw Addison at JDC Q-School. There was a lot of people watching him play and he had a lot of attention on him, but he still played well that day.
“He’s only 10-years-old and is the youngest player in the Mission Academy, but his enthusiasm for the game shone through when I met him and I’m thrilled to welcome him to the team!”
