Defender swaps Scotland for Lancashire

Burnley Football Club are pleased to announce the signing of Cameron Scott, who joins Andy Farrell’s U21s squad.

The 18-year-old defender, who was formerly at Scottish Premier League side Rangers, has signed an 18-month contract running until the summer of 2027 following a successful trial period.

“It’s a great feeling to be here,” he said.

“When you’re younger you always want to be at the top clubs, and being at a Premier League club like Burnley was really attractive to me.

“There are quite a few Scottish lads around the building too, including Ellis (Clark) who I played against for years and Muzz (Murray Campbell) who is from the same area as me.

“I really enjoyed my two weeks here, the set up’s really good and the training ground’s phenomenal so it was a no brainer.”

Scott explains that he played rugby more than football growing up, with his South African mother pushing him down that route.

After falling in love with football on a family holiday, he joined Rangers at the age of nine, progressing right through the age groups to sign his first professional contract when 16.

The teenager is primarily a left-back but has also played centre-back and left midfield, and has been capped by Scotland at U16 and U17 level.

Academy Manager Chris Casper added: “Cameron is a strong addition to our U21s group ahead of the second half of the season.

“He impressed with his attitude and technical ability on trial and with the physical profile to match, I look forward to seeing him fulfil his potential with us.”
