Scott Liam Malone (born 25 March 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left back or left-sided midfielder for Cambridge United.

[5] Malone went on to make eight appearances, scoring once, and helped them finish second in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and to qualify for the newly formed UEFA Europa League.

[9] Then on 12 December 2009, Malone provided an assist for Francis Laurent to score the first goal of the game against Hartlepool United as they went on to win 3–2.

[16] Malone made his Burton Albion debut, the next day, playing 90 minutes, in a 3–0 win over Bradford City.

[19] Despite suffering from injuries,[20][21][22] Malone scored his first goal in English football on 30 April 2011 in a 1–1 draw against former club Southend United[23] and went on to make 22 appearances.

[25] On 18 July 2011, Malone joined League One side AFC Bournemouth on an initial six-month loan deal.

[27] Malone then scored three goals in three games between 29 October 2011 and 12 November 2011 against Preston North End,[28] Scunthorpe United[29] and Gillingham in the first round of FA Cup.

[30] After losing his place in the left–back position to Warren Cummings, Malone was moved into an unfamiliar left–midfield role by manager Lee Bradbury.

[34] Malone scored in his first game after signing for the club on a permanent basis and set up a goal for Matt Tubbs, in a 2–0 win over Exeter City on 7 February 2012.

On 30 May 2012, Malone joined Millwall in a move that included former Cherries player Josh McQuoid returning to Bournemouth as part of a swap deal.

[47] During a 2–2 draw against Burnley on 2 November 2013, Malone suffered an injury that saw him substituted after just seven minutes and, after undergoing a scan, it was found that he did not have any damage to his ligament.

[50][51] A week after making his return, Malone scored his third goal for the club, in a 2–1 win over Nottingham Forest on 5 April 2014.

[62] Malone was previously linked with a move to Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, who made a bid for him before going to Cardiff City.

[70] Malone went on to establish himself in the left–back position and went on to make forty–one appearances and scoring twice, having missed five games, due to four on the substitute bench and one over illness.

[71] With his contract expiring at the end of the 2015–16 season, Malone's future at Cardiff City was in doubt, especially with the new management of Paul Trollope.

[89] On 24 July 2023, Malone signed for EFL League Two side Gillingham on a free transfer, following his departure from Millwall, after having a successful trial during pre-season.

[93] On 28 June 2024, Malone joined newly-promoted League One side Crawley Town for an undisclosed fee, signing a one-year deal.
