Young was a promising player for Cardiff, playing in the reserves before being promoted to the senior team. Young only played one senior season, and may have achieved more but was kept out of the squad by Bert Winfield,[5] one of the greatest Welsh kickers of all time. Young played several games for London Welsh and Bristol before switching to rugby league.[5] He was described by ex-Wales union captain, Arthur Harding, as 'He has a lovely kick, of the Jackett type, and a useful tackler.'[5] Frank Young represented Glamorgan.[6]
