Ryan Searle (born 21 October 1987) is a professional English darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation events.

Career

He reached the last 16 of the 2013 BDO World Masters, after a controversial win over Richie George, when his winning dart at double 10 didn't actually hit the target, but referee Nick Rolls called 'game shot', ending the leg and giving Searle the match.

In 2016, he finished second on the PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit, thanks to winning 2 events along the way, which meant he automatically gained a PDC Tour Card.

In the PDC, Searle reached the 4th round of the World Championship on his debut in 2019, then the third round the following year where he led Gary Anderson 3-1 but was eventually defeated 4-3. The next season, Searle won his first Pro Tour title by beating world number one Michael van Gerwen 8-6 in the final of event 3.

Personal

Ryan has very bad eyesight. He often cannot even see where his darts land[2].
