Josh Rock used to work in an Antrim chicken factory – and tonight Northern Ireland’s rising star will break out of his shell at Alexandra Palace.
When Rock helped chicks go from incubation to hatching, it was almost a euphemism for his career on the oche, where he is widely tipped to rule the roost in the near future.
And if the 21-year-old from Ballymena gets past Spain’s Jose Justicia in the first round at the Cazoo PDC Darts World Championship, just watch him fly. The Antrim Rocky hit a nine-darter against Michael van Gerwen at the Grand Slam last month, and his poultry in motion was no fluke.
