Riley Emery has quickly emerged as one to watch in the historic darts hotbed of Stoke-on-Trent.

The teenager took up darts in late 2023, after being hooked watching the then 16-year-old Luke Littler’s run to the PDC World Darts Championship final.

In 2024, Emery claimed the Jack Clutton Cup and became a regular in Staffordshire’s county youth team. He also picked up some scalps in his local ADC Vault events, appearing in a pair of semi-finals either side of the New Year.

At the start of 2025, Emery took part in JDC Q-School and finished up with four points on the ranking table, courtesy of runs to the last eight and last 32 in Events 3 and 4 on the final day.
