Hayden Young (born 11 April 2001) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Drafted with the 7th selection in the 2019 AFL draft from the Dandenong Stingrays in the NAB League, Young is the younger brother of the Western Bulldogs' Lachie Young.[1] He was considered to be one of the best kicks in his draft class.[2]
Young made his AFL debut for Fremantle in the long-delayed second round of the 2020 AFL season at The Gabba against Brisbane, as a late replacement for Nathan Wilson.[3] Young played five games in 2020 before his season was ended by an ankle injury. In 2021, he played the opening three games before a bad hamstring injury kept him out of the team for most of the year. He returned in round 19, before playing the best game of his career in Fremantle's upset win over Richmond in round 20 and received the Rising Star nomination.[4]
