Lionesses forward Michelle Agyemang, darts player Luke Littler and cricket star Davina Perrin have been shortlisted for the upcoming Young Sports Star of the Year award.
The three finalists have been celebrated for their remarkable achievements over the last year.
Agyemang was instrumental as the Lionesses secure Euro 2025, Littler won the world title for the very first time, and Perrin burst onto the scene with a record-breaking innings.
Littler claimed this honour in 2024 after his breakthrough year.
The three contenders were unveiled on a widely-listened-to radio show.
This year's winner will be announced during a live broadcast on the annual sports awards show on Thursday, 18 December.
The show will be aired from seven in the evening GMT.
Agyemang's Profile
Age: 19 Sport: Football
A mere three months after her first cap for her country, Agyemang played a pivotal and thrilling role in England's run to winning the Euros.
She entered the fray to score vital last-gasp goals in both the quarter-final and semi-final.
Her incredible contributions led to her being named the tournament's top young talent.
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 global standout among U21 women.
Agyemang, who has been playing for Brighton on loan from Arsenal, ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in October.
"Being on the shortlist for this award is incredible," said Agyemang. "I thank God and I'm grateful for the support I've received from my inner circle and supporters."
Luke Littler
Age: 18 Sport: Darts
Littler kicked off the year in sensational style as - aged 17 - he became the earliest-ever winner in history.
He secured a commanding win over Michael van Gerwen in the final.
His subsequent victory at the World Matchplay made him only the fifth individual to complete the prestigious triple crown of major titles.
He didn't stop there - his win in 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.
"Being nominated for the honour once more is a big honour," stated Littler. "Last year's win was a highlight for me and I've had another unbelievable 12 months. I want to continue promoting darts."
Davina Perrin
Age: 19 Sport: Cricket
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 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 major league or full member T20 international.
Perrin ended up as runner-up in the batting rankings and was named PCA Women's Young Player of the Year.
"I'm incredibly grateful to be nominated for the Young Sports Personality of the Year award," expressed Perrin. "It means a great deal. I hope it encourages more girls to get into cricket."
