Kane Benjamin Vincent-Young (born 15 March 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays for Colchester United as a full-back. He can play on the left or right side of defence.

Vincent-Young progressed through the Academy at Tottenham Hotspur, but was released in 2014. He joined Colchester United's Academy for the 2014–15 season and made his first-team and professional debut for the club in August 2015.

Career

Born in Camden, London,[1] Vincent-Young was on the books of Tottenham Hotspur, where he progressed through the club's Academy. He was released in July 2014 at the end of his youth scholarship.[4]

After a trial with League One side Colchester United, Vincent-Young signed a one-year development contract with the club's Academy on 23 September 2014.[5] After impressing in the under-21 side, he made his first away trip with the first-team on 20 December 2014 as Colchester beat Yeovil Town 2–0, featuring on the bench but not receiving any game time.[6]

Vincent-Young featured regularly during Colchester's pre-season preparations for the 2015–16 season. He played for the full 90 minutes during three first-team pre-season friendlies[7] and was selected in manager Tony Humes' squad to face Blackpool for the opening day fixture. He came off the bench to make his professional debut on 8 August, replacing Matthew Briggs at left-back on 79 minutes in the 2–2 draw.[8] Following his debut, he signed a two-year contract extension with the club on 14 August.[9] In the absence of Briggs for the visit of Oldham Athletic on 18 August, Vincent-Young made his first competitive start for the club at the Colchester Community Stadium, helping his side to their first clean sheet of the season and playing the full 90 minutes.[10]

After eight League One appearances for Colchester, Vincent-Young suffered an Achilles injury which ruled him out of action for two months.[11] He made his return from injury on 12 December as a second-half substitute for Matthew Briggs during Colchester's 3–2 home defeat by Barnsley.[12] He ended the season with 16 professional appearances in his maiden campaign.[13]
