In a social media statement, he said: “I want to say a massive thank you to ZXF Management, and especially Martin, for everything they’ve done for me so far in my career.
“We’ve had some amazing times together over the last five years.
“And I’ll always be grateful for the advice and support that helped me to get to this point.
“As my career moves forward and the schedule gets busier, we’ve agreed it’s the right time for me to take the next step with new representation.”
Despite initially suggesting that he would appoint another manager, Littler announced on Tuesday that he intends to go without.
The Nuke explained: “I’m on my own. Just as myself, I think it’s better.
“Obviously I’ve got my family to support me and obviously Martin [Foulds] had done his job, but I think it was the right time.
“Booking flights, hotels and all that stuff and we’re on our own.”
Littler went on to add that he will be receiving guidance from Target Darts owner Garry Plummer as he gets used to life without a manager.
He continued: “I’m going to have help from Garry at Target as well. It’s going to be massive; we’re going in the right direction.
“No one knows what’s been going on behind the scenes. And I won’t be saying anything, but it was just the right time.”
Littler announced the news after his World Grand Prix first-round win over Gian van Veen.
The teenager beat the Dutchman 2-0 in stunning style to progress.
