Mission Darts is pleased to announce the signing of exciting young talent Riley Emery.
The 13-year-old has quickly emerged as one to watch since taking up darts in late 2023, winning the Jack Clutton Cup and becoming a regular in Staffordshire’s county youth team.
The Stoke-on-Trent teenager recently competed in JDC Q-School, where he reached the last eight in Event 3 and the last 32 in Event 4 to finish up with four points on the ranking table.
Emery has also made an impression in the ADC Vault events, reaching a pair of semi-finals in tournaments held in Stoke, and posting an eye-catching 91 average in one match.
On signing for Mission, he said: “It means a lot to be joining Mission. I met some of the other boys in the Mission Academy at the JDC Q-School a few weeks ago and they all made me feel welcome and part of the team.
“I got into darts after watching Luke Littler get to the final of the World Championship a year ago now, and ever since then I’ve been practicing and playing in competitions. With the support of Mission I want to keep pushing myself to see what else I can achieve.”
Darryl Fitton, Mission’s player development manager, added: “Riley is a young lad who has so much potential. He is rock steady on the oche and has a nice throw which can only help him continue to make more strides in the game.
“Riley hasn’t been playing darts very long but has already made his mark in tournaments around the Stoke area. He’s part of the Darts In Stoke Academy and picked up some good wins at the JDC Q-School recently.”
