Young signed scholarship forms at Southampton at aged 16, and signed his first professional contract for Southampton in May 2012.[1] He was released two years later after failing to make one appearance for the club.[2] He signed a one-year contract with Sheffield Wednesday on 3 June 2014.[3] On 10 January 2015, he signed for Carlisle United on a one-month loan deal.[4] He made his first ever Football League debut later that day in a 1–0 loss to Cambridge United.[5] Three games into his loan spell, he extended his stay at Carlisle United on loan for the rest of the season.[6] He made twenty appearances for the League Two side. After his loan spell ended in May 2015, he was one of eleven players to be released from Sheffield Wednesday.[7]
In July 2015, Young had a trial with National League club Barrow.[8] Following his trial at Barrow, he signed for fellow National League club Dover Athletic on 7 August 2015.[9] His first appearance for the club came off from the bench on the first game of the season in a 2–1 defeat against Barrow.[10]
