Rand joined the PDC in April 2010, and within a month qualified for the
UK Open. He defeated
Andy Murray and
Jyhan Artut before losing to
Tony Broughton in the last 96. In May 2011, he reached the semi-finals of a Players Championship event in
Crawley. This result helped him to qualify for the
2011 World Matchplay, where he lost 6–10 to
Wayne Jones in the first round. Rand qualified for the
2011 Players Championship Finals in November. He beat
Jamie Caven 6–2 in the first round, five-time World champion
Raymond van Barneveld 8–6 in the second round, and multiple major winner
James Wade 9–5 in the quarter-final. In the semi-final, he led eventual champion
Kevin Painter 9–6 and had two darts at double-16 for the match, but left both of them on the wire as Painter came back to win. Nevertheless, his performance left him with a cheque for £15,000 and on the cusp of a place in the top 32.
2012 Rand made his
PDC World Championship debut in
2012, beating
Andy Smith 3–0 in the first round, without dropping a leg. He played
Colin Lloyd in the second round and was beaten 1–4. In April, he qualified for his
PDC European Tour debut at the
2012 Austrian Darts Open by defeating Keith Stephen and
Nigel Heydon in the UK qualifier. He played
Gary Anderson in the first round and lost 4–6. Rand reached the last 64 of the
UK Open where he lost 6–9 to
Andy Smith. He also qualified for the third
2012 European DartsO Open with wins over
John Henderson and Paul Rowley, and then received a bye through to the second round of the event in
Düsseldorf due to
Gary Anderson withdrawing. There he played
Richie Burnett and lost 3–6. At the fifth European Tour Event, the
2012 Dutch Darts Masters, Rand saw off Lloyd 6–3 in the first round, before being whitewashed 0–6 by Andy Smith in round two.
2013 Rand qualified for the
2013 World Championship by finishing 37th on the 2012 ProTour Order of Merit, claiming the seventh of sixteen spots that were awarded to non-qualified players. He played the runner-up of the previous major, the
Players Championship Finals,
Kim Huybrechts in the first round and came back from 2–1 down in sets to triumph 3–2 in a high quality match. Rand played
Wes Newton in the next round and was beaten 4–0. He lost 9–7 to
John Henderson in the third round of the
UK Open. Rand reached his first semi-final on the Pro Tour in almost a year in September at the eighth
Players Championship which was undoubtedly highlighted with a 6–2 win against
Michael van Gerwen in the second round. However, he was whitewashed 6–0 in the semis by
Simon Whitlock as he averaged just 78.57. Rand missed out on qualifying for the
2014 World Championship by just £500 on the
ProTour Order of Merit.
2014 Rand played in all six of the
2014 UK Open qualifiers but couldn't win beyond the last 128 in any of them as he failed to reach the main stage of the tournament for the first time since turning professional. He reached the last 32 of two tournaments in the following months, but has not played in a PDC event since July. ==Personal life==
