RYAN JOYCE

Ryan Joyce rose to fame in the world of darts with a run to the quarter-finals of the PDC World Championship in 2019. ‘Relentless’ had a debut to remember at Alexandra Palace, beating Anastasia Dobromyslova, Simon Whitlock, Alan Norris and James Wade to reach the last eight of the tournament.

The Newcastle thrower made his BDO World Championship debut at the Lakeside two years earlier, in 2017, before joining the professional ranks in the PDC at the start of 2018. Joyce claimed his first PDC title by winning a Players Championship in the summer of 2020, a run which also helped him secure debuts in the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix.

‘Relentless’ appeared in another major quarter-final at the back end of 2022, making the final day of the World Series of Darts Finals, before doubling his PDC title tally with another Players Championship victory in October 2023. A month later Joyce broke new ground by reaching the semi-finals of the Players Championship Finals.

How old is Ryan Joyce?

Born on September 20, 1985, Ryan Joyce celebrated his 38th birthday in 2023 – a year which saw him win his second Players Championship title and reach his first PDC major semi-final. Joyce was working in his local pub in the Newcastle area when he was asked to play for the pub’s darts team when they were short of players.

He rose through the ranks and represented Tyne & Wear at a county level, before going on to play on the BDO circuit and qualifying for their World Championship in 2017. Joyce pushed the three-time Lakeside champion Martin Adams to a sudden-death leg in the last 32, just losing out despite an incredible 164 finish in the penultimate leg of the match.

Joyce made the switch to the PDC in 2018, winning a tour card at Q-School, and has been one of the 128 PDC tour card holders ever since, picking up two ProTour titles and in 2020 he played in all seven major ranking events that year.

The victory helped ‘Relentless’ to qualify for the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix that year.

Just three months later, Ryan Joyce made his mark on his World Grand Prix debut, averaging an impressive 96.61 in the double-start format in a 2-0 win against the second seed Peter Wright in the first round.

In October 2023, Ryan Joyce picked up his second ProTour title, edging past Gerwyn Price 8-7 in the final of Players Championship 26. It was a first tournament win in three years for ‘Relentless’, who will be eyeing up a return to the world’s top 32 in the PDC rankings as his results continue to improve both on the floor and on the stage. A month after his latest title success, Joyce made the last four of the Players Championship Finals in Minehead.
