[edit] Club career
Having grown up in Australia, he attended Padua College, where he played in the First XI as Goalkeeper and also played at Albany Creek at club level. Young moved to England in 2002 to play professional football for Reading. After failing to break into the first team, he was released by Reading on 8 May 2006, and subsequently signed a one-year deal with Wycombe Wanderers on 2 August 2006.
He missed much of the 2007–08 season with a knee injury, but regained fitness by the end of the season.[1] Young played in the Carling Cup first round versus Birmingham City in August 2008.[2] His contract was cancelled by mutual consent in January 2010 after he was informed that he would not be offered a new contract in the summer. He was signed on a non-contract basis by Aldershot Town of League Two on 11 March 2010 as cover for goalkeeper Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz.[3] After impressing and establishing himself as the first choice goalkeeper, in the last quarter of the 2009-10 season, where Aldershot Town qualified for the League Two play offs, Young signed a one year contract with the club in June 2010.[4]
[edit] International career
Although born in Australia, Young has elected to play for England internationally, having been capped for the U20 team to date.[5]
