After the end of season shuffle with the ranking points Darren , with his semi final appearances in the World Open Singles and the quarter final in the International Open, built up enough points to go from Number 9 to Number 5 for the coming 2018 - 19 season.

Darren was playing well last season and will be trying to go one better this year though he says with events, a full time job, a family man with two young daughters and a supportive wife, a fill International committment as well, juggling all this is almost as hard as winning an event itself.

With all the right shots to play in his armoury of skill Darren is always a fierce opponent and is highly respected on the World Tour.
