Mission Darts is thrilled to announce the addition of promising young talent Bobby Haste to Team Mission.
At just 11 years old, Bobby has already made waves on the Yorkshire darts circuit. In just half a year, he’s been promoted to Division One in the highly competitive Yorkshire Darts Club (YDC) system.
Hailing from Bradford, Bobby first discovered his love for the game in January 2024, after receiving a dartboard as a gift for his 10th birthday. Remarkably, within just a few weeks, he nailed his first 180 — a clear sign of his natural ability.
Bobby's competitive journey kicked off in September, and by November, he had already clinched the youth title on his YDC debut. He’s since collected wins in both Division Two and Division One, and currently holds a spot in the top 10 of Division One.
Speaking about his signing, Bobby shared:
“I’m really proud to be part of Team Mission. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my mum, dad, and Decca (Derek Lumley). They’ve helped me so much. I’ve gained a lot of experience in a short time, and with Mission’s backing, I’m excited to see where this takes me.”
Darryl Fitton, Mission’s Player Development Manager, commented:
“The first time I saw Bobby play, he caught my attention right away. Whether he won or lost, he’d be straight back to the oche practicing. His passion and confidence stand out, and in just over a year, he’s come a long way. If he stays focused and surrounds himself with the right guidance, there’s no limit to what he can achieve.”
