Mission Darts is pleased to announce the signing of Italy’s number one Michele Turetta.
The 39-year-old made history for his country when he became the first Italian player to win a PDC tour card at Q-School in January this year.
‘Il Ture’ has represented Italy twice in the PDC World Cup of Darts, making his debut in 2021 and last year helped them to their first-ever win during the group stages of the tournament.

Turetta joined the professional circuit after securing his first PDC tour card at the start of 2024, and has already landed several high-profile scalps including victories against Dave Chisnall and Joe Cullen.
On signing for Mission, Turetta said: “I’m very happy to join Mission and to be a part of the team. I’m sure that working with Darryl (Fitton) and the rest of the team is going to help improve my game and take it to the next level. Thank you for this opportunity.”
Darryl Fitton, Mission’s player development manager, added: “Michele is a player I’ve been following for a while now and he has impressed me with some of his early results on the ProTour this year. It’s an exciting time for Michele in his career, being the first player from Italy with a PDC tour card, and I look forward to working with him to continue his progress on the professional circuit.”
