Luke Littler has been recognised for his World Darts Championship success by hometown rugby league club Warrington Wolves.
Littler's brilliant triumph in the World Darts Championship in January has propelled the teenager to global stardom.
He remains hugely popular in his home town, where Betfred Super League club Warrington Wolves renamed their stadium to "The Luke Littler Stadium" for Friday's game against Catalans Dragons.
Littler was guest of honour for the match, and - following a special video introduction by PDC MC John McDonald - was given a rapturous reception onto the pitch, where he lifted the Sid Waddell Trophy in front of a bumper crowd.

Warrington went on to win the game 18-12 to continue their unbeaten start to the Super League season.
Littler is a long-term fan of Warrington Wolves and a season ticket holder with his family, and has previously been invited to meet the squad following his breakthrough at darts' highest level.
The Sid Waddell Trophy was paraded by Michael Smith at St Helens two years ago, while Luke Humphries enjoyed a wonderful reception at his beloved Leeds United in January 2024 following his World Championship success.
