Published 17 minutes ago Lionesses forward Michelle Agyemang, darts player Luke Littler and batswoman Davina Perrin have been selected as contenders for the this year's Young Sports Star of the Year award. The trio have been celebrated for their outstanding achievements over the previous year. Agyemang was instrumental as the Lionesses win Euro 2025, Littler secured the world title for the very first time, and Perrin rose to fame with a unprecedented innings. Littler claimed this honour in 2024 after his sensational debut year. The three contenders were revealed during a live broadcast on a national radio breakfast show. The champion will be revealed live on the Sports Personality of the Year show on December 18th. The event will be aired from 7 PM GMT. Agyemang's Profile Age: 19 Sport: Football Only 90 days after her first cap for her country, Agyemang played a pivotal and thrilling role in England's run to winning the Euros. She was introduced as a substitute to score vital last-gasp goals in both the quarter-final and semi-final. Her incredible contributions led to her being named the best young player at the Euros. Subsequently, she was awarded the prestigious Golden Girl honour for the top young European talent. She was also in contention for the Kopa Trophy for the planet's top young female footballer. Agyemang, who has been playing for Brighton on loan from Arsenal, ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in October. "Being nominated for this award is a privilege," said Agyemang. "I'm grateful to God and I'm thankful for the support I've received from my loved ones, mentors, colleagues and supporters." Luke Littler Age: 18 Sport: Darts Littler kicked off the year in spectacular fashion as - aged 17 - he became the most youthful world title winner in history. He secured a comprehensive triumph over Michael van Gerwen in the final. His later win 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 triumph in November's Grand Slam of Darts meant he reached world number one for the first time. At 18, he is the youngest man to do so, smashing the previous record. "Earning a spot on the shortlist for Young Sports Personality of the Year is a massive accolade," stated Littler. "Last year's win was a proud moment for me and I've had another amazing 12 months. I want to continue promoting darts." The Cricket Sensation Age: 19 Sport: Cricket Perrin is one of English cricket's most exciting young talents and surged to prominence with an unbelievable and unprecedented 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 shared third-fastest women's T20 century in a premier tournament. Perrin came in second place in the season's run tally and was named the Professional Cricketers' Association's top young women's player. "I'm deeply humbled to be shortlisted for the Young Sports Star award," expressed Perrin. "It means a great deal. I hope it motivates more young women to get into cricket."
