In 1999, he rejoined Woodlands Wellington before joining Australian team Wollongong Wolves in the old NSL the same year. The move proved to be a successful one for the striker and he enjoyed five special years in NSW, captaining the side from 2002 to 2004 and winning two NSL Championships along the way. He is the Wollongong Wolves' highest ever goal scorer with 60 goals.
His move to the Perth Glory for the inaugural A-league season endured some early hiccups due to the club's then manager Steve McMahon's reluctance to play the veteran striker. It was suggested that McMahon's apathy towards him resulted from the fact that Young was not one of his signings.[citation needed] During the couple of occasions in which he was used by McMahon, he was substituted on late during the game and this was also indicative of McMahon's belief that his usefulness to the team was limited.
During the 2005 season, Young was offered a trial by Queensland Roar FC who sensed that he had been shut out at Glory, but this did not result in a position in the playing squad. However, newly appointed Glory manager, Ron Smith, had taken a far more positive outlook on Young's services, and this had resulted in increased playing time, and scored the winner in his first game under Smith.
After playing he became manager of Mandurah City in the WA State league in 2009 and left in 2011
