James Scott

James Scott

James Scott of Ross County was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 August 2000 (age 24).

James Scott, born on the 30th of August in 2000, is a Scottish forward plying his trade for St Mirren. This striker, age 24, stands at a height of 6 feet 2 inches (1.88m) and weighs in at a solid 13 stone 9 pounds (87kg). Wearing the number 14, Scott started his professional career as a youngster in Scotland.

His early years were spent with Motherwell, joining as a trainee in the Scottish Premiership in October 2013. He made steady progress while at Motherwell, culminating in 22 first team league appearances during the 2019 - 2020 season, where he netted three times.

In January 2020, Scott made the move from Motherwell to Hull City, in England's Championship league. The fee for this transfer, around £1.5m, was a significant outlay for Hull. His performance at Hull City bore fruit, with seven first team appearances and a score in the league matches of the 2019 - 2020 season.

Following a loan spell at Hibernian in the 2021 - 2022 season, where Scott played in 16 league games and bagged four goals, he returned to Hull City in June 2022. Later, in January 2023, he headed to lower league Exeter City.

However, his final transfer in July 2024 brought him back north, to his homeland Scotland, where he signed for St Mirren. Over two seasons, Scott took up duties in 24 league matches for the side, finding the back of the net once. Nevertheless, in the current 2025 - 2026 season, he has yet to step onto the pitch for a league match. His appearances in domestic cup games have been noteworthy; he played in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 with one start and two appearances as a substitute, and the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 with a substitute appearance.
