Bowker is supporting Lancashire darts player Jack Drayton as he looks to take the next step in securing a future in the professional game.
Jack competes on the 2026 PDC Development Tour and MODUS Super Series circuit. The PDC Development Tour is the official ranking circuit used by young players to earn a professional tour card and a spot on the main circuit. The MODUS Super Series is a televised studio competition designed to give players stage experience and the chance to win immediate prize money.
Jack Drayton said: “It’s happened really quickly over the last couple of years. I started out playing local league darts with my mates, and now I’m competing on TV and travelling around the country. Having support from businesses back home means a lot because it helps me focus on improving and taking every opportunity that comes along.”
Jack, from Thornton Cleveleys, began playing competitive darts in a local Friday night pub league in 2022 before progressing to the Fleetwood Town Super League in August 2023. He was selected for Lancashire County Darts in September 2025 and has since competed in national and televised tournaments.
Already this year, Jack has won back-to-back PDC Development Tour events in Leicester and moved to second place in the Development Tour Order of Merit. He also won the 2026 Isle of Man Open men’s title, earning qualification for the WDF World Championship at Lakeside.
Jack reached the quarter-finals of the Isle of Man Open in 2025 and finished 40th overall on the Development Tour after competing in nine of the 25 events during his first season on the circuit. He also won multiple ADC Vault competitions and secured a debut victory in week 9 of Modus Super Series 13, then won Champions Week, securing him the Series 13 title.
Chris Eccles for Bowker Motor Group said: “Jack’s rise in darts has been exciting to follow because he has progressed from local leagues to televised competitions in a short period of time. Everyone at Bowker is looking forward to supporting him as he continues competing on the Development Tour and other events throughout the year.”
Alongside his darts career, Jack studies Golf Management at Myerscough University, having previously represented the Lancashire Golf Union as a scratch golfer. In early 2026, he signed with the Target Darts Elite 1 programme and is managed by Sportsman’s Management Company. He is also scheduled to compete on the PDC Challenge Tour during the 2026 season.
Jack’s stated aim for the remainder of the 2026 season is to maintain a top-10 position on the PDC Development Tour rankings to secure a PDC Tour Card and full-time status on the professional circuit.
