Scott has been playing football since he was five. He began in Rotorua before moving to Tauranga where he joined Greerton-based Blue Rovers.
He played there until he went to Aquinas College, changing his allegiance to the college team briefly before joining Tauranga City United as a 14 year old.
He won his first under 19 player of the year award while playing for Tauranga's second team.
The striker says the awards he received at the end of last season represent the high point of his playing career.
So far he has failed to find the net this season, but "I have been setting them up".
His immediate playing and studying ambitions lie in Auckland, but he would also love to obtain a sports scholarship at an American college
This summer he attended two trials in New Zealand with English Premier League club West Bromwich Albion's staff and scouts - following the first in Hamilton he was invited to the second in Auckland, but nothing came of it
The prize pack is valued at $4000 and includes Lotto sports gear, a voucher for Smiths Sport Shoes, a Fitco Gym membership and treatment at CNS Clinic.
It is a timely windfall, as Scott's gym membership has just run out and he is badly in need of a new pair of running shoes.
Scott was telephoned and told of his win while he was filling his car with petrol on his way to training.
"I was pretty ecstatic - I had to turn the car off for a second and think about it," he says.
Now is the time to start nominating young sports stars for the sportsperson of the week awards that begin again on May 17. For details go to www.cnsclinic.co.nz
