Club career

Western Sydney Wanderers

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. [4] 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. [4] He signed his first professional contract, a two-year scholarship contract, on 7 July with the first-team. [5]

Loan to PSV Eindhoven

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. [6]

International career

In May 2023, Younis received his first international call-up for the Australia U18 side. [7] He made his debut as a substitute on 9 June, in a 4–2 loss to Portugal, [8] and scored his first goal for Australia in a 3–2 loss to England. [9]

On 25 September 2023, Younis was called up to Australia U20 side for friendlies against France, Netherlands and Denmark in Marbella, Spain. [10] However, two weeks later, Younis was pulled out of the squad due to injury, being replaced by Fabian Talladira from Adelaide United. [11]

Younis has a younger sister, Talia, who plays for Western Sydney Wanderers in the A-League Women. His father, Ray, was a former National Soccer League player and works as the Wanderers' conditioning coach. [12] His uncle, Robert, was also a footballer who played for Adelaide United. [13]
