He scored 51 not out in 126 balls in a drawn match at Bristol.^[6] In June 2011, Young took 2 wickets for 32 runs in his 4 overs in a Twenty20 loss against Essex.^[7] Young also starred with the ball in a Twenty20 match against Hampshire in June 2011. He conceded only 14 runs and took 2 wickets in his maximum 4 overs in a 9 run loss.^[8]

In the winter of 2011, Young was part of Darren Lehmann's cricket academy in Adelaide. He returned from this experience to take a more active part in the County Championship during the 2012 season.^[9]

Young played in just one County Championship game in 2013 and was consequently released by Gloucestershire on 8 October 2013.^[10]
