England international Dom Young has addressed recent speculation linking the winger with a move to rugby union. The current Sydney Roosters star still has three years to go on his contract, with his future tied up until the end of the 2027 season.

However, that hasn’t stopped talk of a cross-code move, with many believing Young, who has scored 63 tries in 73 NRL appearances, could snap the elder code and become a household England international, following on from former club teammates Joseph Suaalii and Joseph Manu.

And while the 23-year-old has ‘considered’ a move, he has no intentions to follow suit, with the player, who played for Huddersfield Giants in Super League before moving to the NRL with Newcastle Knights and England stardom at the 2022 World Cup, content at the Roosters.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph in Australia, Young said: “There were a few rumours lately, but I haven’t really had any talks or anything like that. I have considered it in the past and have had some talks with a couple of clubs before, but I came out here. It’s not even like that I want to play union; it’s just an option that I have considered.”

Young’s comments follow on after his agent, Michael Cincotta, told the Telegraph of outside interest in his client’s services, who has only ‘scratched the surface’ of what he is capable of.

“There’s always been strong interest from rugby union for Dom,” Cincotta said. “There were some discussions prior to Dom beginning his NRL career.

“It’s certainly something that will be considered down the track if it’s the right opportunity. Dom is an exceptional athlete and would make a seamless switch with his game-breaking ability.

“Dom has only scratched the surface of what he is capable of. If he transitioned to rugby union, he would undoubtedly draw significant attention and elevate interest in the sport. Dom is box office.”
