Revealed just moments ago English soccer star Michelle Agyemang, darts player Luke Littler and cricket star Davina Perrin have been named as finalists for the this year's Young Sports Personality of the Year award. The three finalists have been honoured for their outstanding achievements over the previous year. Agyemang played a key role in helping the Lionesses claim victory in Euro 2025, Littler secured the world title for the maiden time, and Perrin rose to fame with a record-breaking innings. Littler claimed this honour in 2024 after his remarkable rise. The three contenders were unveiled on a widely-listened-to radio show. The champion will be unveiled on the annual sports awards show on Thursday, 18 December. The event will be broadcast from seven in the evening GMT. Michelle Agyemang Age: 19 Sport: Football Just three months after her senior team debut, Agyemang played a pivotal and thrilling role in England's run to European Championship victory. She came off the bench to score crucial late equalisers in both the knockout stage games. These match-saving moments led to her being named the tournament's top young talent. Subsequently, she was awarded the Golden Girl award for the best young player in Europe. She was also shortlisted for the Kopa Trophy for the planet's top young female footballer. Agyemang, who has been playing for Brighton on loan from Arsenal, sustained a serious knee injury in October. "Being nominated for this award is an honour," said Agyemang. "I thank God and I'm grateful for the support I've received from my loved ones, mentors, colleagues and supporters." Littler's Profile Age: 18 Sport: Darts The year started for Littler in spectacular fashion 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 subsequent victory at the World Matchplay made him only the fifth competitor to complete the prestigious PDC Triple Crown. And he wasn't finished there - his victory at November's Grand Slam of Darts meant he ascended to world number one for the first time. At 18, he is the earliest achiever to do so, smashing the previous record. "To receive a nomination for this award again is a huge privilege," stated Littler. "Last year's win was a proud moment for me and I've had another amazing 12 months. I want to continue raising the profile of darts." Davina Perrin Age: 19 Sport: Cricket Perrin is one of English cricket's most exciting young talents and burst into the spotlight with an remarkable and historic 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 top-tier competition. Perrin ended up as runner-up in the batting rankings and was named the young player of the year by the PCA. "I'm truly honoured to be shortlisted for the young athlete award," expressed Perrin. "This is phenomenal. I hope it motivates more young women to get into cricket." Media caption: Memorable speeches from across SPOTY history.
