Career

The 2020 JDC tour featured two titles from The Nuke, who is also signed to partners program "Elite1" organised by Target. Littler won the youth title at the England Open in September 2021 and finished second in the British Pentathlon.
In November 2021, Littler won his first seniors title at the Irish Open defeating Barry Copeland by 6–2 in legs, and thus qualified for the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship at the age of 14. Littler won the JDC Super 16 in Milton Keynes at the end of January 2022. In March 2022, he won the youth competition at the Isle Of Man Open. At the 2022 WDF World Darts Championship, Littler start as a seeded player from second round and won first match against Ben Hazel by 3–2 in sets.
