Career

Born in Morpeth, Northumberland, Young began his career at Newcastle United at the age of 7,[2] before turning professional in 2019.[3] He moved on loan to Tranmere Rovers in October 2020.[4] After making five appearances, Young returned to Newcastle.[5]

In January 2022, Young joined League One club Wycombe Wanderers on loan for the remainder of the season,[6] being recalled by Newcastle in March after just two league appearances.[7][8] However, he subsequently signed a three-year permanent deal with Wycombe in April 2022.[9][10][11] In August 2023 he moved on loan to Scottish club Ayr United,[12] returning to Wycombe in January 2024 following the expiration of his deal.[13] On 16 February 2024, Young joined National League club Wealdstone on loan for the remainder of the season.[14] In October 2024, he joined National League South side Dorking Wanderers on loan until January 2025.[15] He departed the Chairboys upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2024–25 season.[16]

On 20 September 2025, Young joined National League South club Farnborough.[17] On 1 December 2025, it was agreed that while Young was considering a move back to the North of England, he would rejoin Dorking Wanderers on loan until mid-January.[18]

On 29 January 2026, following his departure from Farnborough, Young joined Worthing.[19]
