Scott joined the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer on loan in March 2004,[1] after several exceptional years with Alajuelense, with whom he had played since May 2001.
Scott also scored several goals against MLS and Mexican league teams in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and was a key player during his first episode with Alajuelense.
Observers expected him to begin the following Apertura tournament in the starting line-up but due some differences with fans and some members of the managerial team, he was sent on loan for 6 months to Marathón in Honduras.
[3] This resulted in attention from clubs in the Chinese Super League, and ultimately in a move to Shanghai Shenhua in January 2008 along with Honduran player Emil Martinez.
[12] Scott was recently called into the Costa Rica national team for a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying match,[17] where he was an unused substitute.
