Career
He used the nickname Rassel Dazzle for his matches. He began his darts career competing on the BDO International circuit in 2002, and reached the quarter finals of the Dutch Open in 2003. After reaching the last 16 of the Winmau World Masters in 2003, he switched the rival organisation, the Personal Digital Cellular and made his World Championship debut in 2004 but lost his opening match to Ritchie Buckle.
He then began competing on the Personal Digital Cellular Pro Tour circuit (non-televised events).
His best results came in his native Netherlands - reaching the semi-finals of the 2005 Open Hotel Zwartewater and the quarter-finals of the 2005 Dutch Open, which he was still eligible despite being a Personal Digital Cellular player. Just a week later, he failed to progress to the 2007 World Championship losing to Steve Evans in the qualifiers.
Van der Rassel competed in fewer Pro Tour events during 2007, choosing to enter the tournaments closer to his home country - including the Antwerp Darts Trophy where he lost to James Wade in the last 32. He managed to beat former world number one Colin Lloyd in the first round and Denis Ovens in the second round before losing to three-time World Championship runner-up Peter Manley in the last 16.
Van der Rassel rejoined the British Darts Organisation in 2010 due to lack of sponsorship funds.
