He made his television debut at the 1994 Embassy World Darts Championship but suffered a 0-3 first round defeat to Steve McCollum. He promptly switched to the PDC (then known as the WDC), which was still in its early days. He appeared at the first World Matchplay Championship in the summer of 1994, losing in the semi-finals to Larry Butler.
