Bradley is a student at Roundhill community college and is a keen sportsman including Football, Boxing and of course Darts! I thought we should get to know more about this talented 'Young gun'.
1. When did you start playing darts? When did it start getting ‘serious’? I started playing darts at the age of 4. My dad played a lot so when he practised I used to have a board standing up on a chair, it all started from there. Darts started to get serious for me at the age of 10 when I got asked to play for Leicestershire youth county.

I started going to a lot of tournaments with my dad, entering them and winning a few games, and then one day John asked me to join team Nevada and I took the chance whilst I had it.

I play for Charnwood Super League #charnyarmy

' Young Guns' is a very good description for Team Nevada because everybody who is part of it are up and coming players.
