Club career
[edit]Western Sydney Wanderers
[edit]Raised in the suburbs of Western Sydney, Younis joined Western Sydney Wanderers at the age of 12, during which he faced recurring injuries for three years.[2] After gaining consistency in the youth teams, Younis made his A-League Men debut for the first-team on 15 January 2023, replacing Brandon Borrello, in the 82nd-minute of a 1–1 draw against Melbourne City.[2] He signed his first professional contract, a two-year scholarship contract, on 7 July with the first-team.[3]
Loan to PSV Eindhoven
[edit]After impressing from his 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons, Younis extended his contract for two years with the Wanderers in September 2024. On the day of his re-signing, he was loaned out to PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie with an option to buy.[4]
International career
[edit]In May 2023, Younis received his first international call-up for the Australia U18 side.[5] He made his debut as a substitute on 9 June, in a 4–2 loss to Portugal,[6] and scored his first goal for Australia in a 3–2 loss to England.[7]
On 25 September 2023, Younis was called up to Australia U20 side for friendlies against France, Netherlands and Denmark in Marbella, Spain.[8] However, two weeks later, Younis was pulled out of the squad due to injury, being replaced by Fabian Talladira from Adelaide United.[9]
