Career
Young grew up in
Hertha Berlin. He also represented Scotland under 21s.[1]
He then joined
2006 Scottish League Cup Final.[4] He was then briefly at St Johnstone before spending most of the 2006–07 season playing for Partick Thistle.[1]
Young rejoined Aberdeen in July 2007.
After leaving Grindavik, Young was offered a contract until the end of 2011 by
Icelandic FA. His signing was confirmed in November along with the loan signing of Dominic Cervi.[9] In January 2012, Young was offered a contract extension by Allan Moore until the end of the season;[10] the contract offer was accepted and signed on 6 January.[11]
Young was released by Morton at the end of the 2011–12 season due to difficulties travelling over from Aberdeen for training.
Young signed for
2013 Scottish Challenge Cup Final that season against Partick. Having already won the 2012–13 Scottish Second Division title by a large margin, this gave Young and his teammates a league and cup double.[1]
Young moved to Forfar Athletic in June 2014, spending two seasons with the Station Park club before signing for Highland League club Formartine United in July 2016.[14]
