Last year’s runner-up Gerwyn Price will bid to go one better in the Premier League Darts after being included in the eight-man line-up for this year’s event.

The hand-picked group will start the 16-week series in Cardiff on February 1, where all eyes will be on two Lukes as well as Welshman Price.

Luke Littler has been included after the 16-year-old captured the attention of the sporting world by reaching the final of the PDC World Championship.

The other Luke will be the man who beat Littler in Wednesday’s dramatic final – Luke Humphreys, who won 7-4 to become world champion for the first time.

Ice Man Price will be aiming to make amends for a disappointing World title bid after he crashed out in the last 32, beaten by Brendan Dolan.

Price says Littler fully deserves his spot in the Premier League and said on social media: “He deserves a spot in the biggest tournament. Premier League is made for this young superstar. Love it.”
