Paul Scott (born 5 November 1979, in Wakefield) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League with Huddersfield Town, Bury and Morecambe.

Playing career

Huddersfield Town

Beginning his career as a trainee at Huddersfield Town, Scott made debut in a 1–0 win at Peterborough United on 17 August 2002.

Scott left Huddersfield in 2004 after making 32 league appearances and scoring two goals.

Bury

Scott initially joined Bury on non-contract terms after personally applying for a trial at the club.[1] [2] He made his debut on 21 August 2004 in a 1–1 draw against Chester City.[3] Scott established himself as a regular in Bury's starting side towards the end of the 2004–05 season after signing a permanent contract.

During his time at the club he featured at right-back, centre-back and even central midfield.[4]

He won Bury's Player of the Season award in both 2007 and 2008.

Morecambe

Scott signed a two-year contract with Morecambe in June 2010.[5] Unfortunately, Scott spent much of his time with The Shrimps suffering from long term injury problems.[6] As a result, his contract was mutually terminated early in April 2012.[7]

Wakefield City

Scott subsequently played non-league football with hometown club Wakefield City.[8]

Personal life

In 2010, Scott was studying part-time for a bachelor's degree in Sports Performance at the University of Salford.[9]
