James Ryan Scott (born 30 August 2000) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Scottish Premiership club St Mirren, on loan from Exeter City.
Scott made his senior debut for Motherwell on 21 April 2018, as a late substitute away to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. [3] He had already played for the club's under-20 team in the Scottish Challenge Cup, making his first appearances aged 15. [4] [5]
On 15 February 2019, he signed a new contract, keeping him at Motherwell until 2022. [6] He started his first game on 24 February, in a 4–1 defeat against Celtic. [7] During that match Scott failed to return the ball to the opposition after an injured player had received treatment, and instead took a shot that led to Motherwell's goal. [7] [8] On 27 April 2019, Scott scored his first senior goal in Motherwell's 4–3 win at home to Dundee. [9]
By the end of January, Scott had scored six goals in 28 appearances for Motherwell during the 2019–20 season. [10] Motherwell accepted an offer from Hull City for Scott on 31 January 2020. [10]
Scott signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Hull City on 31 January 2020, with the club also having the option of extending the contract by one year. [11] During his first training session with Hull, Scott suffered an ankle injury that was expected to prevent him from playing for the rest of the 2019–20 season. [12]
He made his debut for Hull on 20 June 2020, against Charlton Athletic. [13] On 27 June 2020, Scott scored his first goal for Hull City with a well placed header against Birmingham in a 3–3 draw. [14]
On 20 August 2021, Scott returned to Scotland to join Hibernian on loan for the duration of the 2021–22 season. [15] [16] Scott made his debut for Hibernian two days later in a 2–2 draw with Dundee. [17] On 15 May 2022, the final day of the Scottish Premiership campaign, Scott netted a hat trick in a 4–0 win over St Johnstone. [18] He returned to Hull at the end of the season. [19]
On 31 January 2023, Scott was released by Hull City after spending two-years at the club and making 36 appearances in all competitions for the Tigers. He was subsequently signed by Exeter City on an 18-month permanent contract, rejoining former Hibernian assistant manager Gary Caldwell. [20] On 25 March 2023, Scott scored the fourth goal in a comprehensive 5-0 home victory over Accrington Stanley; his first goal for the Grecians.
On 24 January 2024, Scott joined Scottish Premiership club St Mirren on loan for the remainder of the season, agreeing to sign on a permanent two-year deal at the end of his loan. [21]
In August 2019, Scott was called into the Scotland under-21 squad, for the European under-21 Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Croatia, [22] and he went on to make his debut as a substitute against San Marino. [23] [24]
