MICHAEL SMITH has revealed he's "completed life" after realising another dream just days after becoming darts world champion.

Bully Boy won the PDC World Championship following an epic 7-4 victory over Michael van Gerwen in a classic final at Ally Pally.

Smith's win also saw him rise to the top of the darts rankings for the first time.

In the aftermath, Smith tweeted his beloved rugby league club St Helens about a potential collaboration with the Super League Grand Final winners.

He posted: "One thing I really want to do and would love to do is stand on the half way line with the boys with the league leaders and grand final trophy on there side and the Grand Slam of Darts and world champs on mine with that mighty red V in background."

The club responded: "We will make it happen! 🤝 🏆 #COYS."

And less than two days later Smith got his wish.

Having returned home, he made his way to the Totally Wicked Stadium and was snapped alongside his world championship crown and the Grand Final trophy.

And the 32-year-old took to Twitter to share his excitement.

He said: "Completed life it’s self now 😍."

Smith is a Saints fan and has made his love public by posting snaps alongside his kids at games.

Speaking about his love for league, he said: "I wasn't very good at rugby, so I had to pick another sport, so this was my way of connecting with the town as well as one of my greatest passions.

"And even now when I've got days off I still bring my kids here when I've got time. This is my happy place."

Asked what he's like inside the stadium, he joked: "I'm not a hooligan, I'm a soft person, I cheer when we score or just give them a cheer when we're not playing the best.

"I'm usually telling my kids off because they're the ones screaming and shouting."

St Helens prop Alex Walmsley said on Twitter: "Awesome to catch up with the Champ and have a photo with the Sid Waddell Trophy 🏆."

Jodie Cunningham, who plays in the Women's Super League added: "Top bloke, saints fan, World Champion and World No 1 🎯 can't get much better than that!

"Awesome to get a photo with @Michael180Smith and @stuartpykesport - one of the guys calling the 9 dart leg with the 9 dart leg-end himself 👌🏼."
