}}George Avery Young (June, 1866-21 January 1900) was an English-born sportsman who played international rugby union for Wales[1] and cricket for Glamorgan.[2]

Rugby career

Although born in Tynemouth in the North of England, Young moved to Wales where he came to note as a sportsman. His first major club was Cardiff, and while playing with the Blue and Blacks he was selected to represent Wales in the country's opening game of the 1886 Home Nations Championship, against England. Under the captaincy of Charlie Newman, Young was one of five Cardiff players to represent Wales on the day, with teammates Billy Douglas and Dai Lewis joining Young as first caps. His second and final cap was the next game of the 1886 Championship, this time against Scotland, which Wales again lost.

During the 1886/87 season, Young was given the captaincy of Cardiff, which he held for two seasons.[3]
