Career
Pusey's first PDC affiliate event was 2015 DPA Harrows Australian Grand Prix 3 making the quarter-finals.[2]
Pusey has won eleven titles in his career.[3] He has won one WDF event at 2021 West Coast Classic and 10 PDC affiliate tour titles, seven DPA titles and three ADA titles.[4]
In 2025, he finished top of the order of merit in the Australia Darts Association (ADA) tour after winning back-to-back titles on the final weekend. As he resulted he qualified for the ANZ Premier League and 2026 PDC World Darts Championship.[5] On night six, he defeated both Ben Robb and Simon Whitlock 5–3 and Jonny Tata 5-2 in the final to win the night in Wellington.[6] He qualified for Finals Night in Brisbane after finishing fourth but lost his semi-final 8–2 to Raymond Smith.[7]
Ahead of 2026 World Championship, Pusey announced the PDC had banned him from using his nickname 'The Magnet' due to it creating a vulgar innuendo when paired with his surname.[8] Playing under his new nickname, 'Thunder from Down Under', Pusey lost to Keane Barry 3–0 on his World Championship debut.[9]
