Michael Smith tells beloved St Helens his wish after winning World Darts Championship

Darts star Michael Smith has enjoyed a stunning last few months, having followed up his Grand Slam of Darts victory in November with a magnificent first ever World Championship title in January.

In a brilliant final that will go down as one of the best in the sport's history, Smith triumphed over three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen to win 7-4. 'Bully Boy' is a keen supporter of his hometown rugby league side St Helens and wants to celebrate his success with his beloved Saints.

Smith has watched St Helens win four consecutive Super League Grand finals and says he "would love" to bring his Grand Slam of Darts and World Darts Championship titles to Langtree Park and celebrate alongside St Helens' Super League trophy.
