Following on his delight that Forfar Athletic began what is basically the second half of their season with a 1-0 win at Dumbarton on Saturday past, manager Stuart Malcolm is equally pleased to have secured the signature on a short term contract till the end of the current campaign of thirty year old striker Scott Fenwick.

The Gateshead born player had been interesting a few clubs north of the border in recent weeks who had been made aware of his availability having been released late last year by League of Ireland side Cork City.

Scott had spells at the youth academy’s of Newcastle United, Sunderland and Middlesbrough before a short stint in 2009 at Gretna prior to their demise.

He then played for a few non-league outfits in the North East before a successful two-season term with Hartlepool United at the time still an EFL club making 42 appearances, netting 10 goals.

National League side York City was his next port of call, followed by spells with Darlington, Maltese side Naxxar Lions and Chelmsford City.

While playing for the Essex club in the National League South, he twice netted a hat-trick of penalties!

Back up to Blyth Spartans in his native North East for an injury blighted season in 2019/20, he then headed over the Irish Sea to Ireland’s second city making six appearances for Cork City prior to their season coming to a close.

Scott trained with his new colleagues on Monday evening and he will go straight into the squad for the visit of Falkirk on Saturday first.
