Phil Taylor is currently top of the Premier League table

World number one Phil Taylor has employed a full-time nutritionist as part of a new healthy training regime.

The 15-times world champion has often spoken of his desire to continue improving, even at the age of 50.

Taylor told BBC Radio Stoke: "She will be doing all my meal plans, exercise regimes, everything done properly.

"I'll lose two pounds a week, whereas Phil Taylor goes to the gym and tries to lose two stones a week. This time it's going to be done right."

Taylor is still top of the world rankings, despite being beaten in the last eight of the World Championships in January, and is currently four points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

He has won seven consecutive matches in the tournament and faces Mark Webster in Aberdeen on Thursday.
