Early career
Scott played youth football for Tadcaster Albion. He joined hometown club Leeds United, before he was signed by Manchester City in 2015. He played for the under-21 team in the EFL Trophy on two occasions. He was released from Manchester City at the end of the 2019–20 season. He went on to have trials at Watford and Birmingham City. His trial with Birmingham was postponed for five months due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England.

Port Vale
On 25 January 2021, he signed for League Two side Port Vale on a contract until the end of the 2020–21 season after back-up goalkeeper Dino Visser picked up a hamstring injury. He remained on the bench for the rest of the season whilst Scott Brown retained his first-team place, though Scott was dropped from the bench entirely for the penultimate game of the season after manager Darrell Clarke decided to choose "more of an attacking outfield bench". On 10 May 2021, it was announced that he would leave Port Vale when his contract expired at the end of the season.

FC Halifax Town
On 27 September 2021, Scott joined National League club FC Halifax Town after the club had loanee Aiden Dowling recalled to his parent club. He had been recommended to the club by Frank Sinclair and had impressed manager Pete Wild during a month long trial. He acted as back-up goalkeeper to established number one Sam Johnson. He extended his contract in June 2022.

He had loan spells with Guiseley in September 2022, Nantwich Town in January 2023,  and Ashton United in November 2023.

He signed on loan for Bradford (Park Avenue) in December 2023, with the loan being extended in January 2024 until the end of the season.

Scott was released by Halifax at the end of the 2023–24 season.
