Career edit

Born in Manchester, Scott started his career with his local club Manchester City after progressing through the youth ranks at Maine Road.[1] He spent two years in the Manchester City first team before joining Stoke City in 1989.[1] His first season with Stoke was a poor one as the club were relegated to the Third Division.[1] He spent the 1990–91 season in the club's reserves and also went out on loan to Crewe Alexandra.[1] And after failing to establish himself in the squad in the 1991–92 season, Scott left Stoke in 1992 and joined Bury.[1] He spent the 1992–93 season at Gigg Lane making twelve appearances scoring twice.[1]

He also made two appearances for Mossley in 1992 on loan from Bury.[3]
