Kane Benjamin Vincent-Young (born 15 March 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full-back for League Two club Colchester United. 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 briefly played for Banbury United before he joined Colchester United's Academy for the 2014–15 season and made his 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] This followed a short spell with Southern League Premier Division side Banbury United, for whom he made two appearances in August 2014.[6]

After impressing in the Colchester 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.[7]

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[8] 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.[9] Following his debut, he signed a two-year contract extension with the club on 14 August.[10] 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.[11]

After eight League One appearances for Colchester, Vincent-Young suffered an Achilles injury which ruled him out of action for two months.[12] 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.[13] He ended the season with 16 appearances in his maiden campaign.[14]

Vincent-Young made regular first-team appearances for Colchester during the 2016–17 season, playing 18 times in League Two and making a further five appearances in cup competitions.[15] He signed a one-year contract extension with the club on 29 June 2017.[16]

Vincent-Young scored his first professional goal on 26 August 2017 in Colchester's 5–1 win against Forest Green Rovers.[17] This goal won the club's 'Goal of the Year' award at the annual end of season dinner, while he also won the club's 'Young Player of the Year' award.[18] He made 41 appearances for Colchester across the season, his highest figure to date.[19]

With his contract at Colchester now expired, Vincent-Young joined up with Ipswich Town on trial for their pre-season training camp in Spain in July 2018.[20] He later returned to the U's and featured in a number of pre-season friendly fixtures for the club before signing a new two-year contract on 6 August.[21]
