In this episode of Darts for Kids, host Darren Rees takes families on the inspiring early journey of Jonny Clayton, one of the most exciting players in professional darts and the man known around the world as “The Ferret.” You’ll travel to Pontyberem in South Wales, where Jonny grew up in a tight-knit community shaped by rugby, local sport and village life.

But his path to the oche wasn’t quick or easy. By day Jonny worked as a plasterer across Carmarthenshire, perfecting steady hands and patience. By night he played league darts in Welsh pubs and clubs, practising with his dad and slowly building a reputation as one of the best players on the Welsh circuit. This family friendly darts podcast for kids and parents explores how Jonny balanced work, sport and family life while climbing through county darts, eventually earning his first cap for Wales and competing in major tournaments like the WDF Europe Cup and the BDO World Masters.
