Huddersfield Town
Beginning his career as a trainee at Huddersfield Town, Scott made debut in a 1–0 win at Peterborough United on 17 August 2002.
Scott left Huddersfield in 2004 after making 32 league appearances and scoring two goals.
Bury
Scott initially joined Bury on non-contract terms after personally applying for a trial at the club.[1][2] He made his debut on 21 August 2004 in a 1–1 draw against Chester City.[3] Scott established himself as a regular in Bury's starting side towards the end of the 2004–05 season after signing a permanent contract.
During his time at the club he featured at right-back, centre-back and even central midfield.[4]
He won Bury's Player of the Season award in both 2007 and 2008.[5]
Morecambe
Scott signed a two-year contract with Morecambe in June 2010.[6] Unfortunately, Scott spent much of his time with The Shrimps suffering from long term injury problems.[7] As a result, his contract was mutually terminated early in April 2012.[8]
Wakefield City
Scott subsequently played non-league football with hometown club Wakefield City.[9]
In 2010, Scott was studying part-time for a bachelor's degree in Sports Performance at the University of Salford.[10]
