🔗 Share this article Trio Named as Finalists for Young Athlete of the Year Prize Image caption: Agyemang, Littler and Perrin are contenders for this year's award. Published just moments ago English soccer star Michelle Agyemang, darts prodigy Luke Littler and batswoman Davina Perrin have been shortlisted for the 2025 Young Sports Personality of the Year award. The three finalists have been recognised for their remarkable achievements over the last year. Agyemang was instrumental as the Lionesses win Euro 2025, Littler claimed the world title for the very first time, and Perrin burst onto the scene with a historic innings. Littler was the recipient in 2024 after his breakthrough year. The shortlisted athletes were unveiled on a widely-listened-to radio show. The champion will be revealed live on the annual sports awards show on the 18th of December. The event will be aired from seven in the evening GMT. The Football Star Age: 19 Sport: Football Only 90 days after her international debut, Agyemang played a crucial and game-changing role in England's run to winning the Euros. She was introduced as a substitute to score key tying goals in both the quarter-final and semi-final. Agyemang's stunning interventions led to her being named the tournament's top young talent. Later in the year, she was awarded the prestigious Golden Girl honour 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, sustained a serious knee injury in October. "To be named a finalist for Young Sports Personality of the Year is a privilege," said Agyemang. "Thank you to God and I'm grateful for the support I've received from my inner circle and supporters." The Darts Prodigy Age: 18 Sport: Darts Littler kicked off the year in incredible form as - while still 17 - he became the youngest darts world champion in history. He secured a commanding win over Michael van Gerwen in the final. His subsequent victory at the World Matchplay made him only the fifth player to complete the prestigious PDC Triple Crown. He didn't stop there - his victory at November's Grand Slam of Darts meant he reached world number one for the very first time. At 18, he is the earliest achiever to do so, breaking the previous record. "To receive a nomination for the honour once more is a massive accolade," 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 brilliant 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 finished second in the run-scoring charts and was named the Professional Cricketers' Association's top young women's player. "I'm truly honoured to be named a finalist for the Young Sports Personality of the Year award," expressed Perrin. "This is phenomenal. I hope it inspires more young women to get into cricket."
