AFTER completing a hat-trick of trophies on the Darts Euro Tour circuit Luke Littler has now scored another.
But this time it was in a totally different game… EA FC 25 Pro Clubs.
Luke Littler posted his hat-trick triumph on his Instagram story
The 17-year-old darts sensation is a huge footie fan
When he’s not busy competing, Littler loves to chill out by playing EA FC – and the newest version was just released.
Littler has tried his hand at playing EA FC 25 and posted about his latest triumph on Instagram.
The darts sensation wrote: “It’s only took the Nuke two games to bag his first hat-trick of the season, up the girth. And a 7-0 win.”
The mode enables gamers to control one player during an online match, teaming up with other people from around the world.
This comes as a bit of a shock after Littler withdrew from two darts competitions over the last week.
The Wigan sportsman pulled out of the Hungarian Darts Trophy, for an unknown reason over the weekend, later won by Michael van Gerwen.
And has since withdrawn from the latest Players Championship on Tuesday.
Fans jumped to conclusions that he dropped out of the first tournament to play Pro Clubs, formally on Fifa.

They couldn’t help but notice Littler’s absence came at the same time as the early access release of EA FC 25.
The darts star decided to stir the pot, commenting under the post: “What a coincidence.”

Perhaps Littler is taking some much needed rest before a packed winter schedule, which will see him attempt to go one better than last year’s World Darts Championship.
The teenager has enjoyed a meteoric rise since losing the final to Luke Humphries at Ally Pally in January.
He recently opened up on his “biggest buy” after winning a NINTH PDC title of the year with the Players Championship.
The teenager has walked away with a stunning £625,000 in prize money since January.
But saw his unbeaten run of 15 matches ended by World No.70 Maik Kuivenhoven earlier last week.
Inside Littler’s massive rise
LUKE LITTLER has taken the darts world by storm since exploding onto the scene at the PDC World Championship at the beginning of the year.
The Nuke reached the final on his Ally Pally debut at just 16 years of age – smashing records along the way.
He has then gone on to win a host of PDC events and the Premier League title – which he claimed at the O2 Arena by beating world champion Luke Humphries in May.
He also finished his first season in the World Series as the No1 ranked player.
He has joined Jude Bellingham on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list.
And the teenage titan even had to snub an invite from the WWE.
The Sun exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire.
He is also cashing in away from the Oche thanks to an Instagram side hustle.
And he’s even the face of a brand new cereal.
But he is newly single after splitting from girlfriend Eloise Milburn following a 10-month relationship.
