Scott Young (born 14 January 1976) is a former Welsh professional footballer and is currently assistant manager at Newport County.
Young was handed his debut by then manager Eddie May on 6 November 1993 in a 3-1 victory over Stockport County at the age of sixteen. He became a popular figure during his 11 seasons at Cardiff City, especially for having scored the goal that defeated Leeds United in the 2001-02 FA Cup. A one-club man since graduating from the Ninian Park ranks, Scott made 275 league appearances for the Bluebirds, and was capped by Wales at under-21 and B international level. Unfortunatley his later years with Cardiff were blighted by a persistent back injury and he retired at the end of the 2003/04 season at the age of 28.[1]
He attempted a comeback as a Newport County player at the start of the 2004-05 season but didnt last long but he returned as Assistant Manager to Peter Beadle in 2006.
Young lives with his wife Fiona and has two children, Connor and Lauren.
