The former St Martin's and Guernsey FC teenager started for the Young Lions, playing 72 minutes of the final as they came back from 1-0 down at half-time to lift the trophy for the second time.

Scott has played a key role in the run to the final, featuring in all three group games and scoring with his first touch in the semi-final win over Italy.

The Bristol City star attracted national attention ahead of the final as one of only three players in the England squad drawn from outside of Europe's top-flight leagues.
