Littler, from Warrington, known as The Nuke, will also take part in the Dutch Darts Masters later this month, by which time he will have turned 17.
Littler’s incredible rise was broadcast by Sky Sports and his participation in two upcoming events means free-to-air viewers will have the chance to watch him in action.
