DARTS pro Wes Newton is desperate to for one last crack at the big-time as he opened up on his “disappointing” career.
The English thrower never won a major during the peak of his career, managing runner-up performances at the UK Open (2011) and the European Championship (2012) and featuring for three years in the Premier League.

In a heartfelt interview with MODUS Darts’ Tungsten Talk, ‘The Warrior’ opened up on how he looks back on his prime.
The 47-year-old said: “I look back on it all the time with regret – or not regret but disappointment.
“I feel like I could have achieved more, or should have achieved more, than what I did
“I always look back with pride on my career, but at the same time I am a little bit disappointed as well, when I look back thinking that I could have maybe done a bit better than what I did.”
Despite Newton’s tone of a player looking back on his heyday, he expressed a desire and a belief that could see him push for a return to the top level of elite darts.
His last PDC appearances came in 2018, followed by a brief spell with the British Darts Organisation and then the World Darts Federation, where he still competes in lower ranking events.
Newton added: “Deep down inside I am still that player I always was, and obviously I would love to be back on the pro tour and in all the main events, but that’s just life isn’t it.
“I want to be back where the main events are, if you know what I mean, but it will probably never happen for me now.
