Career to date
Scott rose up through the academy at Manchester City and was a regular for them at various youth levels.
However, he wasn’t able to make the step up into the first-team picture of the current Premier League champions.
Instead, City decided to let him leave on a permanent basis to join Port Vale in January.
Vale spell
Scott spent the second-half of last season with the Valiants and only penned a deal short-term deal with them.
He was used as back-up/competition for the League Two side before they decided not to extend his contract at the end of June.
The youngster has spent the past few months weighing up his options as a free agent but has now found a new club.
