JELLE has finished his first year inside the PDC ranks strongly to ensure a place in the Ladbrokes.com PDC World Championship.
He shot to attention two years ago, coming through as an unknown qualifier to win the Lakeside Championship against Raymond van Barneveld.
He moved onto the PDC circuit in January, and picked up his first title in November with a victory against Vincent van der Voort in the John McEvoy Gold Dart Classic final.
That has turned out to be, ironically, a pre-cursor to their meeting in the first round of the World Championship, with the quick-fire duo sure to entertain the crowds.
