Background

Young was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Playing career

He made his first grade debut during the 1959 NSWRFL season.[4] On 30 May 1959, in a match against the North Sydney Bears, Young kicked five goals.[5] However, later in the season he was dropped in favour of Ron Wright.[6] Newtown finished fourth that season.

During the 1960 NSWRFL season, Young played mostly in reserve grade, and he was passed over by selectors in favour of Wright and John Kenny.[7] He did, however, make appearances as a substitute.[8]
