Matthew "Matty" Young (born 25 October 1985 in Leeds, West Yorkshire) is a semi-professional football midfielder currently playing for Evo-Stik Premier Division side Frickley Athletic. He began his career at Huddersfield Town in League One.
Young progressed through the youth ranks at Huddersfield Town to make his debut in the 3–1 win over Walsall in October 2005. He made another two appearances this season, as the Terriers finished in a Play-Off spot. He made a bigger impact upon the first team in the following season, making twenty-nine appearances and scoring twice. His first goal for the club was the equalizing goal in Huddersfield's 1–1 draw against Chesterfield at the Galpharm Stadium on 27 January 2007.
His first away goal for the club was a scant consolation goal in the humiliating 5–1 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 3 March. The humiliating defeat was to be the end of manager Peter Jackson's second spell in charge of the Terriers.
The 2007–08 season did not bring much joy to Young. He missed most of the season due to injury and when Andy Ritchie tried to send him out on loan to either Chesterfield or Farsley Celtic, injury ruled him out again. He had a trial at Football League Two side Rotherham United in April 2008.
