Across 60 matches Young has built a profile defined by relentless defensive output, averaging over six tackles per game with single-match peaks of 24 that point to a player who shoulders a heavy workload when Edinburgh are under pressure. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, consistently contributing to the gain line without being a primary ball-carrier, which aligns with the demands of a lock operating at the heart of the pack. Five tries across that body of work add a modest but genuine attacking dimension to an overall game built on durability and consistency.
