Globally renowned manufacturer Target Darts have secured the signature of one of the sport’s most scintillating emerging prodigies, 20-year-old Charlie Manby.
It has been something of a meteoric whirlwind several months for the gifted Yorkshireman who, having clinched his maiden Professional Darts Corporation status via a magnificent and authoritative campaign on the Development Tour, subsequently enjoyed a highly credible and commendable run at Alexandra Palace, ultimately denied a place in the quarter-finals by eventual runner-up Gian van Veen.
Thereafter, following a solid and encouraging initiation to life on the Pro Tour – reaching the last eight in each of his most recent couple of outings – he has now been swiftly acquired by Target Darts, an organisation boasting a veritable constellation of elite performers, most notably including reigning World Champion Luke Littler.

With an abundance of innate talent and youth emphatically on his side, Champagne Charlie will be aspiring to uncork many more celebratory moments in the years ahead, steadily ascending into the upper echelons of the professional circuit.
Speaking with palpable enthusiasm regarding the landmark signing, Manby said:
“Signing with Target is a massive step for me in my career. I’ve worked hard to get to this point and I’m excited to be joining some amazing players. Now it’s about kicking on and making the most of the opportunity. I’m buzzing to get started and see how far I can go.”

Equally effusive in their excitement at securing his services, James Tattersall, Group CEO at Target Darts, added:
“Charlie is an exceptional talent and one of the most exciting young players in the sport. His humility, work-ethic and ambition match what we want to achieve at Target.
“We’re honoured to share his journey and support him with the world’s best equipment to take his game to another level. “He showed during the World Championships that he has superstar potential – we can’t wait to see what he’ll go on to achieve”
