Danielle Young is an English football manager and former player who is currently the manager of Wigan Athletic Women. As a player, she played as a forward for Manchester City, Everton and Fylde.
Playing career
Danielle Young spent much of her career at Manchester City, playing with them from her teenage years until 2014. She was part of City's team in their first year as a professional side in the 2014 season when they joined the FA WSL.[2] Young featured only intermittently and finally parted with the club at the end of the season. She was signed shortly afterwards by WSL 2 side Everton.[3][4]
Young joined Preston North End Women in late 2015, playing in the FA Women's National League.[5] The club rebranded as AFC Fylde in 2016.[6] Young remained at Fylde until 2023.[7]
Managerial career
In 2020, after Fylde reversed the decision to disband their women's team, Young became co-manager, sharing the role with Kim Turner while continuing to play for the club in the Women's FA Northern Premier Division.[8][9] Young stepped down from the managerial role in February 2023 but continued to play for Fylde until the end of the 2022-2023 season.[10][7]
At the beginning of 2024, Young joined fifth-tier side Curzon Ashton Women as head coach, leading the team to victory in the final of the Alliance Design & Print Plate.[11][12] She left the club in June 2025 to take up a new post as manager of Wigan Athletic.[13][14]
