Career
editBorn in Shoreham-by-Sea, Young began his career with Colchester United, where he was a regular in the youth and reserve teams. He made just one appearance for the U's first-team,[2] coming on as a substitute for Tony Adcock in a 4–2 away defeat to Aldershot in the Associate Members' Cup on 9 December 1986.[3]
Young spent a portion of the 1987–88 season on loan to Wycombe Wanderers before signing permanently for a fee of £5,000. He left the club in October 1988, joining Bishop's Stortford. He then featured for a number of other non-league teams, including Witham Town, Wivenhoe Town, Brightlingsea United, Bury Town, Cornard United and Halstead Town.[2]
