🔗 Share this article Trio Named as Finalists for Young Sports Star Award Caption: The three contenders are contenders for this year's award. Revealed just moments ago Lionesses forward Michelle Agyemang, darts player Luke Littler and cricketer Davina Perrin have been shortlisted for the this year's Young Sports Star of the Year award. The three finalists have been honoured for their outstanding achievements over the past 12 months. Agyemang helped the Lionesses secure Euro 2025, Littler won the world title for the maiden time, and Perrin burst onto the scene with a unprecedented innings. Littler won the award in 2024 after his breakthrough year. The finalists were unveiled on a national radio breakfast show. The champion will be announced during a live broadcast on the annual sports awards show on the 18th of December. The ceremony will be broadcast from seven in the evening GMT. Michelle Agyemang Age: 19 Sport: Football A mere three months after her international debut, Agyemang played a dramatic and decisive role in England's run to European Championship victory. She entered the fray to score crucial late equalisers in both the quarter-final and semi-final. Agyemang's stunning interventions led to her being named Young Player of the Tournament. Afterwards, she was awarded the Golden Girl trophy for the top young European talent. She was also shortlisted for the Kopa Trophy for the planet's top young female footballer. Agyemang, who has been at Brighton in a temporary move from Arsenal, ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in October. "Being nominated for this award is an honour," said Agyemang. "Thank you to God and I'm appreciative of the support I've received from my loved ones, mentors, colleagues and supporters." Luke Littler Age: 18 Sport: Darts Littler's 2025 began in sensational style as - at just 17 years old - he became the earliest-ever winner 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 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 reached world number one for the very first time. At 18, he is the most youthful player to do so, shattering the previous record. "Earning a spot on the shortlist for the honour once more is a big honour," stated Littler. "Winning last year was a proud moment for me and I've had another incredible 12 months. I want to continue promoting darts." Perrin's Profile Age: 19 Sport: Cricket Perrin is one of English cricket's brightest emerging stars 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 joint third-fastest women's T20 century in a premier tournament. Perrin came in second place in the batting rankings and was named PCA Women's Young Player of the Year. "I'm truly honoured to be named a finalist for the Young Sports Personality of the Year award," expressed Perrin. "It means a great deal. I hope it encourages more young females to get into cricket."
