Club career

Scally signed his first professional contract with New York City on March 21, 2018 at the age of 15,[3] and in doing so became the second youngest professional soccer player in the United States, after Freddy Adu.[4] Scally made his professional debut for New York City in a 4–0 U.S. Open Cup loss to New York Red Bulls on June 6, 2018, coming on as a late substitute.[5]

On November 13, 2019, it was announced that Scally would join Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach at the end of the 2020 MLS season. The transfer fee was reported to be a seven-figure sum that could rise to become one of the highest transfer fees received for an MLS player.[2]

International career

Scally is a youth international for the United States, representing the United States under-15s[6][7][8] and the United States under-17s despite being three years younger than his teammates.[9][10]

In October 2019, he was named to the squad for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.[11]
