Jake was signed from Dundee in the summer of 1957, and he went on to play a key role in our back line during the three seasons he spent at Gayfield, rarely missing a game in his time at the club. At the end of the 1959-60 season, after captaining the club throughout the campaign he surprisingly asked to be reinstated as a junior and return to his first club, Carnoustie Panmure. His application was rejected by the SFA, and he went on to sign for East Fife at the start of 1960-61 season.

Midway through the 1969-70 season, Young joined back up at Gayfield for the second half of the campaign to give our reserve side some experience and for our younger players to learn off the experienced defender.
