Lionesses forward Michelle Agyemang, darts sensation Luke Littler and cricket star Davina Perrin have been named as finalists for the upcoming Young Sports Personality of the Year award.

The trio have been honoured for their remarkable achievements over the past 12 months.

Agyemang helped the Lionesses secure Euro 2025, Littler claimed the world title for the maiden time, and Perrin burst onto the scene with a record-breaking innings.

Littler won the award in 2024 after his breakthrough year.

The three contenders were announced live on a widely-listened-to radio show.

This year's winner will be announced during a live broadcast on the prestigious sports ceremony show on Thursday, 18 December.

The ceremony will be aired from 19:00 GMT.

The Football Star

A mere three months after her senior team debut, Agyemang played a pivotal and thrilling role in England's run to winning the Euros.

She came off the bench to score crucial late equalisers in both the last eight and last four matches.

Agyemang's stunning interventions led to her being named the best young player at the Euros.

Later in the year, she was awarded the prestigious Golden Girl honour for the top young European talent.

She was also nominated for the Kopa Trophy for the global standout among U21 women.

Agyemang, who has been on loan at Brighton from Arsenal, ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in October.

"Being nominated for this honour is an honour," said Agyemang. "I'm grateful to God and I'm appreciative of the support I've received from my loved ones, mentors, colleagues and supporters."

The Darts Prodigy

The year started for Littler in incredible form as - at just 17 years old - he became the youngest darts world champion in history.

He secured a dominant victory over Michael van Gerwen in the final.

His later win 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 climbed to world number one for the very first time.

At 18, he is the youngest man to do so, breaking the previous record.

"Earning a spot on the shortlist for Young Sports Personality of the Year is a big honour," stated Littler. "Last year's win was a highlight for me and I've had another amazing 12 months. I want to continue promoting darts."

The Cricket Sensation

Perrin is one of English cricket's top prospects and burst into the spotlight with an unbelievable and unprecedented 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 shared third-fastest women's T20 century in a premier tournament.

Perrin ended up as runner-up in the run-scoring charts and was named the young player of the year by the PCA.

"I'm truly honoured to be shortlisted for the Young Sports Personality of the Year award," expressed Perrin. "It means a great deal. I hope it encourages more young women to get into cricket."
