TWO-TIME world darts champion Adrian Lewis has announced his return to the sport.
Jackpot revealed last year that he would be taking an indefinite break from the PDC Tour for personal reasons.
On social media, he wrote: “Dear all, in particular my fans, I feel that your loyalty deserves an explanation for my absence from tournaments.
“After 20+ years I feel I need a break from the professional circuit for now. Massive thanks for the support from my fans & sponsors. Also I’d like to thank @OfficialPDC @PDPA–darts for the opportunity and last but not least my family. Cheers folks Ade.”
One year on, he is now planning a return to the oche.
Lewis is set to compete in the Modus Super Series, a weekly darts competition that features top players from Britain and across the world.
A social media post from Modus read: “Jackpot is coming… Keep your eyes peeled!”
Discussing his return, the 39-year-old said: “I’m delighted to be returning to the sport that I love, and to be backed by Modus Sports Management going forward. I feel refreshed and re-energised, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for me.”
Lewis also confirmed that he would be making a gradual comeback, adding: “I will not be rushing back to Q-School just yet, but I am not ruling it out in the future.
“Firstly I shall be looking to play the Modus Super Series in 2025 as my pathway back to the Professional circuit.”
