Published 17 minutes ago English soccer star Michelle Agyemang, darts prodigy Luke Littler and cricket star Davina Perrin have been selected as contenders for the 2025 Young Sports Personality of the Year award. These three athletes have been celebrated for their exceptional achievements over the previous year. Agyemang played a key role in helping the Lionesses secure Euro 2025, Littler won the world title for the maiden time, and Perrin surged to prominence with a record-breaking innings. Littler was the recipient in 2024 after his remarkable rise. The finalists were revealed during a live broadcast on a national radio breakfast show. This year's winner will be announced during a live broadcast on the Sports Personality of the Year show on December 18th. The event will be broadcast from 19:00 GMT. The Football Star Age: 19 Sport: Football Only 90 days after her first cap for her country, Agyemang played a crucial and game-changing role in England's run to Euro 2025 glory. She was introduced as a substitute to score crucial late equalisers in both the knockout stage games. Her incredible contributions led to her being named the tournament's top young talent. Later in the year, she was awarded the Golden Girl trophy for the finest emerging star on the continent. She was also nominated for the Kopa Trophy for the world's best under-21 female player. Agyemang, who has been at Brighton in a temporary move from Arsenal, suffered an ACL injury in October. "To be named a finalist for this honour is an honour," said Agyemang. "I'm grateful to God and I'm grateful for the support I've received from my family, coaches, team-mates and fans." Luke Littler Age: 18 Sport: Darts The year started for Littler in sensational style as - while still 17 - he became the most youthful world title winner in history. He secured a comprehensive triumph over Michael van Gerwen in the final. His subsequent victory at the World Matchplay made him only the fifth individual to complete the prestigious triple crown of major titles. And he wasn't finished there - his win in November's Grand Slam of Darts meant he ascended to world number one for the maiden occasion. At 18, he is the most youthful player to do so, breaking the previous record. "To receive a nomination for Young Sports Personality of the Year is a huge privilege," stated Littler. "Winning last year was a special memory for me and I've had another amazing 12 months. I want to continue promoting darts." Davina Perrin Age: 19 Sport: Cricket Perrin is one of English cricket's most exciting young talents and surged to prominence with an extraordinary and record-breaking innings in August. Her sublime 42-ball century in The Hundred is the quickest ever by an English female in T20s. It also stands as the equal third-quickest women's T20 century in a premier tournament. Perrin ended up as runner-up in the batting rankings and was named the Professional Cricketers' Association's top young women's player. "I'm incredibly grateful to be nominated for the young athlete award," expressed Perrin. "It means a great deal. I hope it inspires more young women to get into cricket."
