Career
Royston Town
Scott-Morriss played for Royston Town in the Southern League until 2021.[3]
Hemel Hempstead
Scott-Morriss then joined National League South side Hemel Hempstead Town and made over 40 appearances for the club up to 2022.[3]
Southend United
Scott-Morriss was the fourth player to join Southend United under Kevin Maher.[3] His first appearance was against Eastleigh on 27 August 2022.[3] Scott-Morriss played 35 games in his first season, scoring five goals.[3]
On 16 December 2023, during a match against Bromley, Scott-Morriss took over as goalkeeper after the Blues' goalkeeper was injured and Southend had no substitute goalkeepers available. He was said to have made a key save during the match but the team lost 2–1.[4] At the end of the 2023–2024 season, Scott-Morris was named in the Vanarama National League Team of the Season,[5] was voted Southend player of the season,[6] and signed a new two-year contract with the club.[6]
On 14 April 2026, Scott-Morris scored the opening goal in Southend's 2–0 win at Aldershot Town, a win that ensured the Blues qualified for the National League play-offs.[7] By this date he had scored 46 goals for the club since joining from Hemel Hempstead in 2022 and said: "Let's see if I can get to 50 [this season]."[8] Four days later, after his car broke down, Scott-Morris hitched a ride on Bedford Town's bus to reach Southend's game at Halifax Town, and scored his 17th goal of the season in the Blues' 6–2 win at The Shay.[9][10]
Oldham Athletic
On 28 May 2026, Scott-Morriss agreed to join League Two club Oldham Athletic on an initial two-year deal, with the option for a further year.[11]
International career
Scott-Morriss was selected for the England C squad following his performances at Southend United.[12] He earned his first cap on 21 March 2023 in a 1–0 friendly victory over Wales C at Moss Lane, home of Altrincham, the squad having trained at Manchester United's academy facilities in the build-up. Scott-Morriss described the experience as the highlight of his career to that point.[13][14]
