Knights confirm return of flying winger
Young is expected to line up on the wing against the Dolphins this Saturday, days after playing against the Knights in a 12-8 win for the Roosters on the weekend.
The towering Englishman had been linked with a return to Newcastle for weeks after dropping down the pecking order at the Tricolours.

Roosters coach Trent Robinson had begun to prefer rookie Robert Toia and rugby convert Mark Nawaqanitawase in the backline this season.
In a year and a half at the Sydney club, Young never hit the heights he achieved across 51 games with Newcastle and now returns on a two-and-a-half year deal.
Young was seen embracing his Roosters teammates after fulltime of on Saturday night in a sign his time at the club was coming to an end, just 18 months into a four-year deal.
"Dom is a talented athlete and a great person," said Roosters head of recruitment Daniel Anderson.
"We thank Dom for his contributions to the Roosters and wish him all the best for the future."
The 23-year-old replenishes a 15th-placed Knights side that are struggling for attacking strike this season and have been severely depleted by injuries.
He looks likely to replace James Schiller in the starting line-up and reprise a formidable wing combination with Greg Marzhew.
In his last year at Newcastle, Young broke the Knights' club record for most tries in a season, scoring 25 as the side made it to the second week of the 2023 finals series.

Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS Alexander Isak decision
Liverpool have wanted to sign Alexander Isak all year long. Fabrizio Romano has the latest on how that's going. Liverpool first started to really push for Alexander Isak back in January. He's seen internally as the one who can seriously take the Reds' attack to another level. That's not exactly a revolutionary thought, of course. Isak was undoubtedly the best centre-forward in the Premier League last season from just about every viewpoint. Shop the LFC Store LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now He was the star of Newcastle United's UEFA Champions League qualification - and that's exactly why he's so difficult to actually sign. Newcastle may not even accept a record fee for the Swede, such is their desire to keep him. But things are now moving in a direction they don't like. Isak is now training away from the club on his own, while Liverpool appear to have more confidence than ever that a deal could happen. Fabrizio Romano has the latest on that. Fabrizio Romano on Alexander Isak Romano took to Twitter to explain the situation, confirming that Isak has indeed made his choice: he wants to move to Liverpool. He's not entertaining other options right now, despite interest. "Alexander Isak keeps waiting for Liverpool, his only clear choice despite reports on Al Hilal and more clubs," writes Romano. "Personal terms never gonna be an issue, as choice has been made weeks ago." That's huge, obviously. Isak wants Liverpool and Liverpool want Isak - it's just Newcastle that aren't certain here. The moment they decide to sell, the Reds will move and get this wrapped up quickly. Which is why the last line of Romano's tweet is so important.

Tottenham Get Good News Amid Man Utd, Newcastle Fight to Sign €45M-Rated PSG Outcast
Randal Kolo Muani made a strong impression during his loan spell at Juventus, contributing 10 goals and assists in 19 appearances across all competitions. However, with no agreement yet between Juventus and PSG, his future remains unclear, and several Premier League clubs are showing growing interest. According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus have submitted a €10 million paid loan offer to PSG, which includes a purchase clause that would become mandatory if the club qualifies for the Champions League. PSG, however, are holding out for a guaranteed transfer fee in the €40 million to €45 million range. Chelsea, Newcastle, and especially Manchester United are all closely monitoring Kolo Muani's situation ahead of a possible summer move. Are Juventus out of the race for PSG outcast?Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that relations between PSG and Juventus have become tense over Randal Kolo Muani, opening the door for Tottenham to step in. Spurs are now pushing to accelerate talks with PSG, even though the French forward still favors a move to Juventus. As a result, with Tottenham still looking to strengthen their attack and have set their sights on Kolo Muani, according to a report from Foot Mercato on Thursday. The club are reportedly ready to make a straight transfer offer to PSG, an approach the French side would be open to. But Spurs aren't the only ones keen on the forward. The report notes that Manchester United and Newcastle are also in the race, both looking for a long-term striker. That could make things more difficult for Juventus, who are still trying to offload players and raise funds. Competing with the financial power and appeal of Premier League clubs could prove to be a challenge for the Italian side.
