Academy Ambassadors

ADAM "THE HUNTER" HUNT

Adam began competing in PDC events in 2011 and is still plying his trade in the PDC against the best players in the world to date and is currently ranked number 88 in the world.

Adam still continues to support the north east darts scene regularly entering local events and still plays superleague darts just for the love of the game.

Adam had this to say upon becoming an Ambassador for SDA - I’m honoured to be an Ambassador for the Seaham Darts Academy. Darts has went to a different level in the past few years with the introduction of Luke Littler and other young players.

My biggest achievement to date is still for me winning the First Ever PDC Youth Tour in 2011. It will be great to see the players go from SDA to the PDC Development Tours over the next few years.
