Career

Scott made his major debut at the 2012 UK Open at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton. He lost out 4–2 to Brian Woods in the preliminary round. He qualified via the UK Open Order of Merit in tied 96th place with a total of £600 - winning £200 in three of the eight qualifying events. Scott also qualified for the Austrian Darts Open by defeating Mark Hylton in the qualifying event. He lost 6–5 in the first round of the main event to Denis Ovens.

In 2013, Scott once again qualified for the 2013 UK Open at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton, making his televised debut in a 5–2 defeat to James Hubbard. Soon after, Scott qualified for the German Darts Championship, defeating Adrian Gray and Lee Palfreyman in the qualifying event. He lost 6–5 to Arron Monk in the first round.

His tour card status expired at the beginning of 2014 and he was unsuccessful at Q School as he couldn't advance beyond the last 64 on any of the four days. Scott played in 14 of the 16 Challenge Tour events throughout the year with a solitary last 16 run being his best result.

In 2015, Scott was once again unsuccessful in regaining his Tour Card status at Q-School, but managed to qualify once again for the German Darts Championship, defeating Matt Padgett, Kevin Painter and Mark Walsh in the qualifying event, but losing first round to Maik Langendorf in the main event. He played in all 16 Challenge Tour events this year, reaching the last 16 once.

Despite not attending the PDC Q-School in January 2016, Scott took part in the amateur Riley's qualifying events for the 2016 UK Open, where he won through from the London Victoria venue to make the finals in Minehead. He drew Dean Winstanley in the first round, and was narrowly defeated 6–5.
