Walter Scott

Walter Scott re-joined the Wellington Phoenix on a one-year deal in September 2026 after over five years away.

Having begun his professional career at Perth Glory, Scott first came to Wellington for the 2019-20 season, where he made three A-League appearances as the primary backup to Libby Cacace.

After leaving the Nix, he joined Macarthur FC, where he made just one appearance.

Scott spent time in the Australian domestic NPL competition, turning out for both APIA Leichhardt and Wollongong Wolves, earning a move back to the pro ranks.

After returning to the A-League with Macarthur in 2024, he became a squad fixture, also featuring in the Asian Champions League Two and lifting the Australia Cup in 2024.

In total, he made 57 appearances for the Bulls in his second spell.

He scored his first pro goal in continental competition, bagging against Bangkok United at home in 2026.

Walter Scott played 25 times for Macarthur across the A-League, Asian Champions League Two and Australia Cup.

He signed a one-year deal with the Wellington Phoenix in September.

Scott is delighted to be back in the capital.

“It was a no-brainer to get it done,” he said. “I’ve definitely gained a lot of experience not just on but off the football field.

“I’ve had lots of different challenges. Going down into the NPL, then back up into the A-League, winning the Australia Cup and getting into AFC competition last season.

“That provided me with so many experiences and challenges which I’ve been able to overcome, and they’ve really made me grow into quite a resilient, functional footballer.”
