Scott seals switch

COLERAINE FC is pleased to confirm the signing of Jack Scott on a two-and-a-half year deal…

The 21-year-old becomes our first arrival of the January transfer window after spending time at Linfield earlier this season.

After starring for Linfield Academy, Scott joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 and spent three years at Molineux – which also included a loan spell at St. Patrick’s Athletic in the League of Ireland.

Speaking to colerainefc.com, boss Oran Kearney admits he is looking forward linking up with the former Northern Ireland U21 international.

“The best testament you can pay Jack is that the game he played against us he was really strong,” he said.

“He has really good physical qualities and more importantly, there’s a really good football pedigree also.

“We had an honest conversation about what we’re trying to do and why the move would be attractive for Jack.

“For us, it’s trying to make sure that he can kick on, find his feet in football again and kick his career on.

“On the pitch, we’re going to get a bundle of energy, a really good work ethic and honesty. He will integrate well off the pitch and the changing room needs that part of it as well.”

The Club can confirm that Scott will wear the number 18 shirt for the rest of the campaign.
