Neil Young (born 31 August 1973 in Harlow) is a former professional footballer who played as a defender most notably for Bournemouth. He is an older brother of Middlesbrough defender, Luke Young.
He played over 400 league games for Bournemouth, some as captain, after joining in 1994 from Tottenham Hotspur. He played primarily at right back although played at centre back in the latter part of his Bournemouth career. Young was considered an attacking full back who would often support the right winger. He enjoyed a well deserved testimonial in 2005 against his brother's Charlton Athletic side.
On 2 November 2007 he signed a one-month loan deal at Weymouth, linking up with former Bournemouth teammate Jason Tindall.[1] He had his loan extended to a second month, although he was recalled by Bournemouth soon after.He has announced that he will be retiring at the end of this season to emigrate to Australia[2] after over 14 years service for the club.
