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]

Newcastle United

On July 29, 2019, Newcastle United announced the signing of Kyle Scott on a two-year deal. ^[10]

On June 1, 2021, Newcastle announced that Scott would be released at the end of his contract that summer. ^{[11] [12]}

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]

Orange County SC

On August 4, 2022, Scott signed with USL Championship side Orange County SC for the remainder of the season. ^[15]
