Young officially hung up his boots at the end of April with his contract expiring this summer, and the 40-year-old can reflect on an exceptional career.
He made 765 club appearances, scoring 88 goals, while representing Watford, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Everton before his move to Ipswich in the summer of 2025.
A Premier League, FA Cup, and Europa League winner during his time at Old Trafford, as well as Serie A while in Italy, Young also won 39 England caps after making his international debut in 2007.
Now, he's posted a final message on social media to look back proudly on what has been outstanding career at the top of the sport.
"I can honestly look back on my career now that’s it’s finished and say WOW, WHAT A CAREER," he wrote on X.
"To look back and look at what I’ve achieved, the trophies I’ve won, it has been a childhood dream… dreams that you can only think of when you are young but to fulfil my dreams, I am forever grateful.
"To win a Premier League medal it leaves me speechless, there are so many other trophies that I can talk about but I think you all know the significance of a Premier League title.
"Moving to another country and helping the club to win back a Serie A title having not won one for 10 years, making history by doing so and being in a bracket of a handful of Englishmen to do it is so special!"
Young is now looking ahead to the next chapter of his career, with management potentially on the cards.
