🔗 Share this article Three Named as Finalists for Young Sports Personality Honour Image caption: Agyemang, Littler and Perrin are finalists for this year's award. Published 17 minutes ago English soccer star Michelle Agyemang, darts player Luke Littler and cricketer Davina Perrin have been shortlisted for the 2025 Young Sports Star of the Year award. These three athletes have been honoured for their remarkable achievements over the previous year. Agyemang played a key role in helping the Lionesses win Euro 2025, Littler won the world title for the very first time, and Perrin surged to prominence with a record-breaking innings. Littler claimed this honour in 2024 after his breakthrough year. The finalists were unveiled on a popular morning radio program. The 2025 recipient will be announced during a live broadcast on the annual sports awards show on Thursday, 18 December. The ceremony will be aired from 19:00 GMT. Agyemang's Profile Age: 19 Sport: Football A mere three months after her senior team debut, Agyemang played a crucial and game-changing role in England's run to winning the Euros. She entered the fray to score crucial late equalisers in both the quarter-final and semi-final. Her incredible contributions led to her being named Young Player of the Tournament. Afterwards, 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 a privilege," said Agyemang. "I'm grateful to God and I'm grateful for the support I've received from my inner circle and supporters." Littler's Profile Age: 18 Sport: Darts Littler's 2025 began in sensational style as - while still 17 - he became the earliest-ever winner in history. He secured a dominant victory over Michael van Gerwen in the final. His subsequent victory at the World Matchplay made him only the fifth individual to complete the prestigious PDC Triple Crown. 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 earliest achiever to do so, smashing the previous record. "To receive a nomination for the honour once more is a big honour," stated Littler. "My victory in 2024 was a special memory for me and I've had another incredible 12 months. I want to continue elevating darts." The Cricket Sensation Age: 19 Sport: Cricket Perrin is one of English cricket's top prospects and burst into the spotlight with an extraordinary and record-breaking innings in August. Her magnificent 42-ball century in The Hundred is the speediest century from an England batswoman in T20s. It also stands as the shared third-fastest women's T20 century in a major league or full member T20 international. Perrin came in second place in the run-scoring charts and was named the Professional Cricketers' Association's top young women's player. "I'm truly honoured to be shortlisted for the young athlete award," expressed Perrin. "It means a great deal. I hope it encourages more young women to get into cricket."
