Connor Young

Connor Young of Dunfermline Athletic was born on 1 August 2004 (age 21).

Connor Young, born on 1 August 2004 (age 21), is a Scottish striker whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Dunfermline Athletic. Wearing number 17, he has been around the first-team picture without yet turning limited league minutes into a breakthrough: 12 league appearances across two seasons, with no league goals.

There was a brief 2022-23 league spell at East Fife, where he made two appearances and did not score. It is Dunfermline, though, that has provided the bulk of his senior football, and the 2025-26 season has kept him on the edge of the side rather than at the centre of it.

In 2025-26 he has made four league appearances for Dunfermline, with six appearances and one goal in all competitions. His career remains modest so far: a young Scottish forward trying to turn squad involvement at Dunfermline into something more regular.

Connor Young has made four Championship appearances for Dunfermline Athletic this season, with three starts, one substitute outing, zero goals and one yellow card. The starting share suggests he has been given a genuine look rather than just late minutes, but the lack of a league goal keeps his role in the squad unproven. His only scoring return in the supplied data comes in the Challenge Cup.

Young's career path has been unsettled rather than linear, moving from Rangers into spells involving East Fife, Clyde, Edinburgh City, Dunfermline Athletic and East Kilbride. For a 21-year-old striker, the number of moves points to a player still searching for a stable senior platform and a regular scoring role.

The transfer record shows a mix of loans, free transfers and one undisclosed-fee move. Young left Rangers on a free transfer to Clyde after an earlier loan to East Fife, then moved to Edinburgh City for free before Dunfermline paid an undisclosed fee in January 2025. The subsequent loan to East Kilbride suggests Dunfermline still see value in him, but minutes and development are the immediate priority.
