England footballer Michelle Agyemang, darts player Luke Littler and batswoman Davina Perrin have been selected as contenders for the 2025 Young Sports Personality 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 claim victory in Euro 2025, Littler claimed the world title for the maiden time, and Perrin surged to prominence with a record-breaking innings.

Littler was the recipient in 2024 after his sensational debut year.

The three contenders were revealed during a live broadcast on a widely-listened-to radio show.

The 2025 recipient will be revealed live on the Sports Personality of the Year show on December 18th.

The event will be aired from seven in the evening GMT.

A mere three months after her first cap for her country, Agyemang played a dramatic and decisive role in England's run to European Championship victory.

She entered the fray to score key tying goals in both the quarter-final and semi-final.

Her incredible contributions led to her being named the tournament's top young talent.

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

She was also shortlisted 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.

"To be named a finalist for Young Sports Personality of the Year is incredible," said Agyemang. "I'm grateful to God and I'm grateful for the support I've received from my inner circle and supporters."

The Darts Prodigy

Littler kicked off the year in sensational style as - at just 17 years old - he became the most youthful world title 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 triple crown of major titles.

His success continued - his triumph in November's Grand Slam of Darts meant he ascended to world number one for the very first time.

At 18, he is the earliest achiever to do so, breaking the previous record.

"Being nominated for the honour once more 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 raising the profile of darts."

The Cricket Sensation

Perrin is one of English cricket's most exciting young talents and surged to prominence with an extraordinary and record-breaking innings in August.

Her magnificent 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 finished second in the batting rankings and was named the Professional Cricketers' Association's top young women's player.

"I'm truly honoured to be named a finalist for the Young Sports Star award," expressed Perrin. "It's a very special feeling. I hope it inspires more young women to get into cricket."
