Stephen joined the PDC in January 2014 after winning the Lakeside Championship, and enjoyed a rapid rise up the ranks.
A two-time World Masters winner, Bunting made an immediate impact on the PDC circuit with victory in his opening PDC ProTour event at a UK Open Qualifier.
In his World Series of Darts debut in 2014, Bunting was runner-up at The Sydney Darts Masters, before breaking into the Premier League the following year after reaching the quarter-finals of the PDC World Championship on his Alexandra Palace debut.
Also a semi-finalist in the UK Open and World Grand Prix, Bunting won his second PDC ranking title at a Players Championship in Barnsley in 2016.
