Kayla Smith has aspirations to bring her game to the big stage after being a dominant force in the Canadian youth ranks.

The Kingston, Ontario thrower became senior girls national champion in Canada in 2023, before finishing runner-up in her title defence a year later.

Smith has already made a seamless transition from youth to adult darts in Canada, winning several titles and reaching a final in a ranking event.

In October 2024, Smith travelled to Hungary to take part in the WDF World Masters, where she made the last 16 in the women's event and came close to qualifying for Lakeside, losing out in the last eight of the qualifiers.
