[edit] Club career

Scott joined the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer on loan in March 2004,[1] after several exceptional years with LD Alajuelense, with whom he had played since May 2001. Scott scored 13 goals in the 2001-02 season, and another 20 in the 2002-03 season, propelling LD Alajuelense to two straight league titles. Scott also scored several goals against MLS and Mexican league teams in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and was a key player during his first episode with LD Alajuelense.

After joining the Crew, however, Scott saw minimal playing time, and did not return for the 2005 season. He was picked up by Real Salt Lake with the last pick of the 2004 MLS Expansion Draft, but was not brought into the squad. Instead, he stayed in Costa Rica and returned to LD Alajuelense.

Scott found himself playing with a different squad and a different manager at Alajuelense, and his performances were not up to the level there were when he left the squad less than a year before. Accordingly, he wasn't involved in many matches during what was left of the 2005 Clausura tournament. Observers expected him to begin the following Apertura tournament in the starting line-up but due some differences with fans and some members of the managerial team, he was transferred to CD Marathón in Honduras.

He returned to fitness and started playing well for CD Marathón, scoring important goals as the club won the 2007 championship.[2] This resulted in attention from clubs in the Chinese Super League, and ultimately in a move to Shanghai Shenhua along with Honduran player Emil Martinez. They were teammates at LD Alajuelense and at CD Marathón and were acquired together by the Chinese team.

[edit] International career

Scott has made 26 appearances for the senior Costa Rica national team. At the youth level, he appeared in the 2001 World Youth Championship held in Argentina as well as the 2004 Summer Olympics. Scott made his debut for the senior team in a friendly match against Ecuador on October 16, 2002.[3] He has appeared in the UNCAF Nations Cup 2003[4] and UNCAF Nations Cup 2005,[5] as well as the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup held in the United States.[6] Additionally, he appeared in five qualifying matches for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[7]

Scott was recently called into the Costa Rica squad for a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying match,[8] where he was an unused substitute.[9]
