Professional darts player who
competes in Professional Darts

current holder of the prestigious

His appearance at the 2008 World

quickly reproduced when he won the
2008 Dutch Open, an event which had
over 5500 entries.
Other good performances saw Robert

for Robert’s career when he signed
for MODUS Sports Management in May
2008 and became a full time
Professional player.
Robert qualified for the 2008 UK
Open and beat Michael van Gerwin in
his first PDC televised event. This
was quickly followed by
qualification to the Las Vegas

his first PDC success, when he won
