Football career

edit

Scullion began his career with his local side Dunfermline Athletic, making only one appearance for his home town team before joining Elgin City in May 2005. He left Elgin during the Winter transfer window of 2006, signing for Cowdenbeath until he moved to Alloa Athletic in July 2008. Scullion also spent time with Stenhousemuir and Clyde, before signing for Cowdenbeath for a second time on 1 September 2014,[1] having left Clyde on 27 August 2014.[2]

Scullion subsequently spent two seasons with Cowdenbeath, before being released at the end of the 2015–16 season, and re-signing for Alloa Athletic on a short-term deal in August 2016.[3] After making just one appearance for the Wasps, Scullion was loaned out to Scottish League Two side Berwick Rangers in December 2016 on an emergency loan deal until the end of January 2017.[4] With his contract at Recreation Park about to expire, Scullion moved to Berwick permanently on 27 January 2017.[5] After just under a year, Berwick announced that he had left the club by mutual consent.[6] Scullion was without a club for just a short period of time, signing for fellow League Two side Edinburgh City on 1 January 2018,[7] before being released at the end of the season.[8] Scullion returned to Cowdenbeath eventually leaving again in January 2019. He trialed for a few Lowland league teams before signing for Gala Fairydean until the end of the season.[9]
