Matthew Francis Dean Reynolds (born 21 July 1992) is a Welsh former professional darts player who competed in British Darts Organisation (BDO), World Darts Federation (WDF) and Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events.
Reynolds' first Development Tour title came in 2014 by defeating Max Hopp 4âÂÂ2. He also won the 16th event by edging past Josh Payne 4âÂÂ3. Reynolds beat Ryan de Vreede 5âÂÂ4 to claim the 2015 French Open title. He also took another Development Tour event with a 4âÂÂ2 victory over Mike de Decker.
In 2016, Reynolds enjoyed a breakthrough year. He qualified for the 2016 BDO World Championship and lost 3âÂÂ0 to Glen Durrant. At the BDO World Trophy, he defeated Dave Cameron, Martin Adams and Danny Noppert before losing 11âÂÂ9 to Peter Machin in the semi-finals. He had six tournament wins on the PDC Development Tour during the year guaranteeing him a PDC Tour Card for 2017 and 2018, but he later decided to remain in the BDO and his tour card was passed down to the next highest player on the Order Of Merit. He hit a nine-dart finish at the BDO England Masters in September before losing in the quarter-finals to Durrant. Two days later though, he triumphed in the England Classic, defeating Scott Baker 6âÂÂ3 in the final.
In the 2017 World Championship he lost 3âÂÂ2 to Pip Blackwell after being 2âÂÂ0 up in sets and he missed three darts to win 3âÂÂ0. Afterwards, Reynolds announced on social media that he rejected his PDC Tour Card for 2017 to improve his consistency on stage. This meant that Reynolds would concentrate on BDO tournaments in 2017.
