Career

BDO

In 2013, Noppert reached the televised stages of the Winmau World Masters. Then he beat Jeffrey de Graaf and Dennis Nilsson 3–0 to book his places in quarter-final, where he was beaten 3–1 by Darryl Fitton. He also made his debut at the Zuiderduin Masters. After beating Darryl Fitton 5–4 in his first match, he lost to Tony O'Shea 5–3 in the second game to be knocked out in the group stages.

Noppert reached in 2015 the last 16 of the Winmau World Masters. He also qualified for the Zuiderduin Masters. A 5–2 victory and a 5–4 defeat to Scott Mitchell were enough to come through the group stage. Then he beat Darryl Fitton 3–0 in the quarters to reach the semis, where he lost 3–1 to Martin Adams.

Noppert started off 2016 well by reaching the final of the Dutch Open, in which he lost to Martin Adams 3–1. Two weeks later, Noppert won the Scottish Open, having beaten Dean Reynolds 6–0 in the final.[2] Noppert won also the Masters of Waregem, where he defeated Geert De Vos 3–1 in the final.

Noppert impressed during 2016 Grand Slam of Darts, beating Mensur Suljović and Nathan Aspinall before losing a high quality last 16 match with two-time PDC World Champion Gary Anderson 10–9.

In 2017, Noppert was able to reach the finals of the 2017 BDO World Darts Championship, defeating defending champion Scott Waites on his way there. Noppert eventually lost to world number one Glen Durrant 7–3.

Noppert has had a quiet year up until December. Highlighted by the fact he failed to get out of the group stage of the 2017 Grand Slam of Darts losing to Daryl Gurney 5–1 and Darren Webster 5–2 but retained some pride beating Mark Webster 5–2.

On the 10 December, Noppert won the Finder Darts Masters beating Jim Williams in the final 5–3, This was Noppert's first TV title.

PDC

Noppert announced he would move to the Professional Darts Corporation following the 2018 BDO World Darts Championship, and he entered the 2018 Q-School.[3] He won a two-year Tour Card by finishing top of the European Order of Merit, and took one of six wild cards.

In his first year on the circuit he managed to qualify for the first televised tournament of the year, the UK Open in March, where he lost at the last 96 stage. He qualified for six European Tour events where he got good results. He made it to two semi finals, which means he will make his debut at the European Championship in October. He played on all 22 non-televised Players Championships and manage to win one and scoop the £10,000 first prize. Two days later he made his debut in the prestigious World Grand Prix tournament. His good results on the floor tournaments means he will also make his debut at the Players Championship Finals late November.
