Young is a consistently involved runner who averages double figures in carries per match, suggesting he is used as an active attacking outlet rather than a last line of defence. His metres-per-match return reflects a player who gains meaningful ground with the ball in hand, and his peak of 15 carries and 66 metres in a single game indicates he can shoulder a heavy workload when called upon. His tackle numbers are modest, pointing to a role that prioritises offensive contribution over defensive responsibility.
