Born in Surrey, England, to an English father and Filipino mother, Younghusband joined the youth academy of Chelsea. He turned professional in 2005 with the Chelsea reserve team, and spent time on loan with Danish club Esbjerg fB. He moved to the Philippines in 2009, initially playing for San Beda before joining Loyola Meralco Sparks (later Meralco Manila) in 2011. Younghusband spent the majority of his professional career with Loyola Meralco Sparks, winning the United Football League Cup (UFL Cup) in 2013 and the PFF National Men's Club Championship in the 2014–15 season. A prolific goalscorer, he won the United Football League Golden Boot in 2012 as well as three consecutive UFL Cup Golden Boots from 2011 to 2013 and the UFL Cup Golden Ball in 2013.
