Club career
University of Akron
Scott attended the University of Akron on a soccer scholarship after a recruiter spotted him playing for the Canadian U-19 national team. He played on the Zips soccer team from 1985 to 1988. In 1986 Akron lost in Duke University in the NCAA championship. His senior season, he was a third team All American.[1] He graduated in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in business and organizational communications. He was inducted into the Akron Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.
Indoor soccer
In 1989, the Dallas Sidekicks of the Major Indoor Soccer League selected Scott in the first round (sixth overall) of the 1989 MISL Draft.[2] The Sidekicks competed in MISL until 1992. That year, Scott was a first team All Star.[3] In 1993, Scott and his team mates moved to the Continental Indoor Soccer League. In 1994, he moved to the expansion Las Vegas Dustdevils. He suffered a career ending knee injury that season even as the Dustdevils won the CISL championship.
International career
He made his debut for Canada in a March 1993 friendly match against the USA and went on to earn a total of 5 caps, scoring no goals. He was included in Canada's 1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup squad, and his final international was an 8–0 demolition by Mexico at that tournament.
Coaching career
In 1996, he served as an assistant coach with the Sidekicks. In 2001, he became a staff coach with the Dallas Texans Soccer Club.[4] He has also coached Soccer Studio, a team in the Premier Arena Soccer League.[5]
