Playing career
Young played for Bradford City and Sunderland before joining Port Vale in the summer of 1912. His debut came in a 5–0 defeat at Stalybridge Celtic in a Central League match on 3 September 1912; the awful result was compounded by the twisted knee he gained during the match which caused him to be stretchered off and sidelined him for much of the autumn. After being declared fit again in November 1913 he scored eleven goals in his next nineteen games, but was released at the end of the season.
