Career

Born in Hexham,[1] Scott moved from Huddersfield Town to Scottish club Dundee in January 2018.[2][3]

At the end of the 2018–19 season, Scott was released by Dundee.[9] During summer 2019, he had a trial at Darlington, playing in several pre-season games.[10] He later signed for Dunston UTS.[11] Scott signed for Hebburn Town on a free transfer in January 2020.[12][13] In early November 2020, Scott was given a four-week trial at Newcastle United.[14] During the trial, Scott will train with Newcastle's under-23 side but remain available to play for Hebburn.[15] The trial was unsuccessful, and in December 2020 he went on trial with League Two club Carlisle United.[16][17][18][19] He signed a short-term contract with Carlisle United in January 2021, until the end of the 2020–21 season.[20][21]

He signed for Gateshead in May 2021,[22] scoring twice on his debut against Kettering Town in the opening game of the season.[23] Scott was awarded the National League North Player of the Month award for March 2022 after scoring four goals in five matches across the month to take his tally to 22 goals for the season.[24]

In June 2022, Scott signed for Notts County for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal.[25] In May 2023, he scored County's winning goal in a penalty shoot-out win against Chesterfield in the National League play-offs final.[26]

In October 2024, Scott was granted a leave of absence by Notts County to receive help for his mental health.[27]
