Club career
Chelsea
Scott joined Chelsea in 2007 as under-10 from Southampton and went onto make his under-18 debut in August 2013. Scott subsequently made his UEFA Youth League debut at the age of 15 before making his first European start in early 2014.[2] In April 2016, Scott reportedly handed in a transfer request following a lack of first-team opportunities[3] and a few months later, he joined Dutch side Willem II on a short-term trial period with a view to a loan move. However, this supposed move broke down.[4]
Preceding the 2017–18 campaign, Scott was promoted to the first-team squad and was given the number 36 jersey.[5] Following several matchday squad appearances, Scott finally made his first-team debut during Chelsea's 4–0 home victory over Hull City in the FA Cup fifth round on February 16, 2018.[6]
On July 14, 2018, Scott agreed to join Dutch second-tier side Telstar on a season-long loan.[7] On the opening day of the 2018–19 campaign, Scott went onto make his Telstar debut during their 1–0 away defeat to RKC Waalwijk, replacing Anass Najah in the 63rd minute.[8]
He was released by Chelsea on July 1, 2019.[9]

FC Cincinnati
On August 31, 2021, Scott joined Major League Soccer club FC Cincinnati on a deal lasting until the end of the 2022 season.[13] On February 2, 2022, Scott and Cincinnati mutually agreed to terminate his contract with the club.[14]
