Carlisle United Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of striker Cedwyn Scott on a one-and-a-half-year deal from Notts County for an undisclosed fee.
Scott, 26, started his career at Huddersfield Town before a spell in Scotland with Dundee, during which he spent time on loan at Berwick and Forfar.
He then returned to England and joined Dunston UTS prior to making the switch to Hebburn Town where he caught the eye after scoring 21 goals during the first half of the season.
The striker then arrived at Brunton Park, initially on trial, before signing for the Blues in January 2021.
He made seven appearances for United towards the end of the 2020/21 campaign before joining Gateshead where he scored 24 goals in 45 appearances in the National League North, which earned him a move to Notts County.
During his time at Meadow Lane, he made 61 appearances and scored 17 goals. He scored the winning penalty for Notts County against Chesterfield in the National League play-off final to send the Magpies to League Two.
Head Coach, Mike Williamson said: “Cedwyn is a player I’ve worked with before so we know the quality he possesses.
“He’s at a stage in his career where he’s hungry to progress and kick on which is the profile of player we’re looking for.
“He’s got fantastic technical ability in front of goal, he’s really excited to be here and we’re all looking forward to working with him.”
Sporting Director, Rob Clarkson said: “We’re delighted Cedwyn has chosen to join us. We know we need to score more goals and we’re confident he will help us do that.
“We’d like to thank Notts County for their cooperation and help in getting this deal done.”
