[edit] Career
Rendell was born in Ashford, Surrey but lived in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and he started his career with Staines Albion where he played until the age of 16. After Staines, Scott was signed to the books of Aldershot Town before joining nearby Reading. Unable to break into the Reading first team, he was loaned back to Aldershot, and had work experience loans at Forest Green Rovers and Hayes.[2]
Rendell scored Forest Green's first ever goal as a professional football club on the opening day of the 2005–06 season, against Cambridge United, who he would later go on to sign for[3]. He had a spell with Crawley Town initially on loan before making the move permanent until the end of the 2006–07 season before joining Cambridge in the summer of 2007. Scott started the season as a substitute, but after an injury to fellow United striker Lee Boylan, he was given a first-team opportunity and had scored 22 goals by mid-February.
On 18 February 2008, Rendell joined Cambridge's rivals Peterborough United on loan with a view to a permanent transfer for a fee of £115,000. The move was made permanent in May.[4]
However, after failing to make an impact at London Road due to the success of the pairing of Craig Mackail-Smith and Aaron McLean, Rendell joined Yeovil Town on loan for one month. When this deal expired, Rendell rejoined his former club, Cambridge, on an initial loan until January 2009. This had appeared to have been renewed after discussions between the chairmen of both clubs until the end of the 2008–09 season, with no recall clause.[5] But it materialised that the financial demands that would result in his stay would be too great considering United's budget, and it was announced that Scott would be returning to Peterborough with immediate effect on 7 January 2009.[6] On 19 January his loan at Cambridge was extended unti the end of the season. Rendell went on to score a 119th-minute winning goal against Stevenage Borough in the second leg of the 2009 Conference National play-off semi-final, which sent Cambridge into the Blue Square Premier play-off final.
Peterborough rejected a bid from York City to sign him on loan for the 2009–10 season in July.[7] In July 2009, Rendell signed for League Two side Torquay United on a year-long loan. He scored 13 times for Torquay including the winner against Shrewsbury in the 61st minute of a 2–1 Torquay win on 3 April 2010 and another the following week in the 5–0 win over Rochdale.
In June 2010 Rendell signed for an undisclosed fee for League Two side Wycombe Wanderers.[8] In his first season as a Wycombe player he was top of the goalscoring charts at the club, with a return of 19 goals, 9 of which were penalties, six more than he scored for Torquay the previous season. Wycombe won promotion and he found himself on loan to Bristol Rovers the following season.
On 31 January 2012 Rendell signed on loan for Oxford United.[9]
[edit] Personal life
Rendell is currently in a relationship with his partner Sam. The couple had a son, Alfie, who was born four weeks prematurely in late 2010. On Christmas Eve 2010, it was revealed that his son had died after being in hospital for two days.[10] For the rest of the 2010–11 season Rendell wore boots with his son's name "Alfie" embroidered on them. He kissed the boots after scoring his final goal of the season against Southend to make the score 3–1 to Wycombe and sealing his side's promotion back to League One.
