CEDWYN SCOTT SIGNS FOR SOUTH SHIELDS FC

We are delighted to announce the signing of Cedwyn Scott from Carlisle United for an undisclosed fee.

The Hexham-born striker started his youth career with Huddersfield, which led to senior stints in Scotland to explosive form in non-league and promotion success to the Football League. Most recently, the 26-year-old returned to Carlisle United in January—his second spell at the Cumbrian club.

Scott brings a fantastic goalscoring record, highlighted by promotion campaigns with Gateshead and a defining penalty for Notts County in the 2023 play-off final.

Along with his impressive CV, Cedwyn has achieved numerous honours throughout his career. Alongside being promoted twice, once with Gateshead in the National League North during the 21/22 season and again with Notts County in 2023, where Scott scored the winning penalty against Chesterfield to send County into the football league.

Scott was also included in the National League North Team of the Year and also won National League North Player of the Month in March 2022.

Ian Watson is delighted to welcome Cedwyn to his side:

"Cedwyn is an incredible player and it’s testament to the football club that we are able to bring a player with such qualities to the club. Cedwyn is someone I’ve worked with before and I absolutely love the way he plays the game.

"He’s a huge signing for South Shields FC."

Cedywn will wear the number 19 for South Shields FC.

Welcome to South Shields, Cedwyn!
