James Ryan Scott (born 30 August 2000) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Hibernian, on loan from Championship club Hull City.

Club career[]

Motherwell[]

Scott made his senior debut for Motherwell on 21 April 2018, as a late substitute away to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.[2] He had already played for the club's under-20 team in the Scottish Challenge Cup, making his first appearances aged 15.[3][4]

On 15 February 2019, he signed a new contract, keeping him at Motherwell until 2022.[5] He started his first game on 24 February, in a 4–1 defeat against Celtic.[6] During that match Scott failed to return the ball to the opposition after an injured player had received treatment, and instead took a shot that led to Motherwell's goal.[6][7] On 27 April 2019, Scott scored his first senior goal in Motherwell's 4–3 win at home to Dundee.[8]

By the end of January, Scott had scored six goals in 28 appearances for Motherwell during the 2019–20 season.[9] Motherwell accepted an offer from Hull City for Scott on 31 January 2020.[9]

Hull City[]

Scott signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Hull City on 31 January 2020, with the club also having the option of extending the contract by one year.[10] During his first training session with Hull, Scott suffered an ankle injury that was expected to prevent him from playing for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[11] He made his debut for Hull on 20 June 2020, against Charlton Athletic.[12] On 27 June 2020, Scott scored his first goal for Hull City with a well placed header against Birmingham in a 3–3 draw.[13]

Hibernian (loan)[]

On 20 August 2021, Scott returned to Scotland to join Hibernian on loan for the duration of the 2021–22 season.[14][15] On 22 August 2021, Scott made his debut for Hibernian where he started in Hibernian’s 2–2 draw with Dundee away from home.[16]

International career[]

In August 2019, Scott was called into the Scotland under-21 squad, for the European under-21 Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Croatia,[17] and he went on to make his debut as a substitute against San Marino.[18][19]
