He moved to Norwich permanently in 1997, spending two years at the club before leaving the professional game in 1999, shortly after a loan spell with Darlington.
United went on to win promotion as the division's champions in 1992–93; Scott scored two goals in 56 league and cup appearances.
[4] He played 18 top-flight games in the first half of the 1993–94 season, before leaving St James' Park on a £850,000 sale to Tottenham Hotspur in February 1994.
[4] Former Newcastle boss Osvaldo Ardiles was in charge at White Hart Lane and led Spurs to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League in 1993–94.
Gerry Francis replaced Ardiles as manager early in the 1994–95 season, and Scott lost his first-team place.
Still a peripheral player in the 1996–97 season, he was loaned out to Alan Curbishley's First Division Charlton Athletic, though played just four games at The Valley.
