Luke Littler opens another EA FC Pack during walk-on at Premier League Darts event in Exeter

Luke Littler made one fan’s night by opening another EA FC pack during his walk-on in Exeter.

The 17-year-old sensation was competing on night five of the Premier League in the south west as he made his way to the stage on Thursday night.

Not only did ‘The Nuke’ open the pack, but he found a Domenico Berardi card with a rating of 89.

Barring a brief spell with Juventus, the 29-year-old forward has spent much of his career with Italian side Sassuolo where he has scored nine goals in 17 games this term.

It’s not the first time that Littler has opened an EA FC pack, having done similar during last week’s Premier League outing in Newcastle.

READ MORE ON DARTSLittler is a huge EA FC fan and seemed only too happy to help out one of his fans, even if it did come on a night that ended in disappointment.

After beating Michael Smith 6-2 in the quarter-finals, Littler was drawn against Rob Cross in the final four.

However, things didn’t exactly go to plan with Cross progressing to the final to face Nathan Aspinall for glory in Exeter, denying Littler the chance to claim his first Premier League event victory. Aspinall won the final 6-2.

Littler may only be 17 but he’s already hinted at his retirement plans, saying that he might choose to only stay in darts for 10 or 15 years.
