Kyle Michael Scott (born December 22, 1997) is a professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Crawley Town. Born in England, he has played international soccer at youth level for three countries, most recently the United States under-20 national team.

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 February 16, 2018.[6]

On July 14, 2018, Scott agreed to join Dutch second-tier side Telstar on a season-long loan.[7] 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.[8]

He was released by Chelsea on July 1, 2019.[9]

Newcastle United

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

On June 1, 2021, Newcastle announced that Scott would be released at the end of his contract that summer.[11][12]

FC Cincinnati

On August 31, 2021, Scott joined Major League Soccer club FC Cincinnati on a deal lasting until the end of the 2022 season.[13] On February 2, 2022, Scott and Cincinnati mutually agreed to terminate his contract with the club.[14]

Orange County SC

On August 4, 2022, Scott signed with USL Championship side Orange County SC for the remainder of the season.[15]

Crawley Town

On July 17, 2025, Scott returned to England, signing a three-year contract with EFL League Two club Crawley Town.[16]

International career

Scott has represented England at the 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]
