Luke Littler has been named alongside England footballers Jude Bellingham and Alessia Russo and F1 driver Lando Norris in Forbes’ Under 30 Europe Class of 2024.

Littler shot to stardom by reaching the 2024 World Darts Championship final and has since made a seamless transition to a full-time career on the PDC circuit.

The 17-year-old has landed nine-darters in winning the Bahrain Darts Masters and Belgian Darts Open, and heads the Premier League table ahead of the latest night in Birmingham, this Thursday – live on Sky Sports Action at 7pm.

Littler has also appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show and was part of Comic Relief last month, has seen his Instagram following soar beyond 1.3 million fans and been interviewed by a host of high-profile podcasts and publications in recent months.

Global media brand Forbes have listed Littler in their Under 30 Europe Class of 2024, which highlights “the latest class of young disruptors and changemakers who are redefining their respective fields”.

Littler is joined in the Sports & Games category by footballers including Bellingham, Russo and Vinicius Jnr, F1 star Norris and two-time tennis Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka. Sky Sports F1 pundit Naomi Schiff is also on this year’s list.
