Career
He has come through Qualifying School to earn a place on the Personal Digital Cellular three times and is exempt to play events until the end of the 2017 season. Temple made his television debut at the 2012 United Kingdom Open at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton. He lost out 6–9 to Simon Whitlock in the last 64, earning himself £1,000 in the process.
Temple also qualified for the next event, the Dutch Darts Masters, but Company Stompé defeated him 2–6 in the first round.
Temple came within one match of qualifying for his first World Championship when he reached the semi-finals of the qualifying event. However, he was beaten 1–5.
Temple was ranked world number 71 after the World Championship, outside of the top 64 who retain their tour cards for the 2013 season. Temple therefore did not have automatic entry into Personal Digital Cellular Pro Tour events for 2013.
He qualified for the United Kingdom Open by finishing 50th on the United Kingdom Open.
He enjoyed wins over Prakash Jiwa, Mark Lawrence and John Bowles to reach the last 16 for the first time in his career. He faced Andy Hamilton and comprehensively lost 1–9. His deepest run in the rest of the year came two weeks later at the fifth Players Championship where he was defeated 6–2 by Kevin Painter in the quarter-finals.
Temple once again competed in Q School in an attempt to earn a new Personal Digital Cellular tour card.
He got closest to doing so on the first day when he lost 5–3 to Brian Woods in the last 16. He failed to qualify for the United Kingdom Open, but had a good season in the Players Championship events by reaching the last 16 two times and the quarter-finals of the 11th tournament where he was whitewashed 6–0 by Gary Anderson.
Temple entered the 2015 United Kingdom Open at the second round stage and missed three matches darts against Kyle Anderson to be defeated 5–4. His sole European Tour appearance came at the European Darts Matchplay where he lost 6–3 against Tony Newell.
