Young's 2025-26 league involvement at Dunfermline Athletic was modest but concrete: four Championship appearances, three of them starts, with one yellow card. For a 21-year-old striker, that start-heavy split pointed to selective use from the outset rather than purely late substitute minutes, while his Challenge Cup goal gave the season a clearer attacking marker.

Young's route has already moved through several Scottish clubs: Rangers, Clyde, Edinburgh City, Dunfermline Athletic and East Kilbride. That pattern suggested a young striker still searching for a settled senior platform, with Dunfermline becoming the main reference point after his January 2025 move from Edinburgh City and subsequent loan spell at East Kilbride.

The transfer trail was low-cost and development-led: free transfers from Rangers to Clyde and from Clyde to Edinburgh City, an undisclosed move to Dunfermline Athletic in January 2025, then a loan to East Kilbride in October 2025 before returning to Dunfermline in June 2026. It read as a career built around opportunity and game-time pathways rather than major fees.
