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 16 February 2018.[6]

He was released by Chelsea on 1 July 2019.[7]

Loan to Telstar

On 14 July 2018, Scott agreed to join Dutch second-tier side Telstar on a season-long loan.[8] 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.[9]

Newcastle United

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

International career

Scott has represented England at under-16 level, Republic of Ireland at under-17 level, and United States at both under-18 and under-20 levels. He is also eligible for Italy.[2]
