In 2021, he was playing for North Adelaide Football Club in the SANFL.[3] In July that year, Young was the victim of racial abuse from former Adelaide Football Club captain Taylor Walker during a SANFL match. Walker was subsequently suspended from playing AFL for six rounds after he was reported by an Adelaide Football Club official who witnessed the abuse.[4]
