Matthew Scott (born 30 July 1985) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer and current co-captain for the North Queensland Cowboys of the National Rugby League (NRL). A Queensland State of Origin and Australian international representative front-row forward, he has played his whole career to date with the Cowboys, winning the 2015 NRL Premiership and 2016 World Club Challenge with them.
Scott was born in Longreach, Queensland and grew up in the small, nearby town of Ilfracombe. He played junior football for the Longreach Tigers and later the Gemfield Giants. He moved to St. Brendan's College in Yeppoon as a boarder after being spotted by one of the school's coaches at an outback carnival. He was signed by the North Queensland Cowboys during his schoolboy days.
In Round 19 of the 2004 NRL season, Scott made his NRL debut for the Cowboys, at the age of 18, against the Parramatta Eels. Scott broke his leg in the opening minutes of the match, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
Scott played just 3 NRL games in 2005, spending the majority of the season playing for the Cowboys' Queensland Cup side, the North Queensland Young Guns. He was a member of the Young Guns premiership-winning side that season, playing alongside future Cowboys team mates Scott Bolton and Gavin Cooper. Scott was 18th man for the Cowboys Grand Final match-up against the Wests Tigers.
