Scott Arfield (born 1 November 1988) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for English club Burnley.
Arfield was born and raised in Scotland, and was a regular in the Scotland under-21 team, but plays internationally for Canada.
Arfield came up through the Falkirk Academy and when he graduated he earned promotion to the first team. He made his Falkirk debut on 4 August 2007, in their 4–0 win away at Gretna on the opening day of the 2007–08 season. His first goal came in Falkirk's 4–2 defeat at Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He then scored twice in a 4–0 win over St Mirren. He won the Scottish Premier League Young Player of the Month award for December 2007. Arfield signed a new five-year contract with Falkirk in February 2008. He finished the season with three goals in 35 SPL appearances.
During the 2008–09 season Arfield won his second Young Player of the Month award, this time winning for September 2008. He was in the Falkirk side that were Scottish Cup runners-up, losing 1–0 to Rangers in the Hampden Park Final. Arfield scored 10 goals in the 2008–09 season, seven of them coming in the league.
He was given the number 10 jersey, previously worn by Steven Pressley, for the 2009–10 season. Hamilton Academical offered £100,000 for Arfield in August 2009, but this was rejected by Falkirk, who commented that they "thought they had missed out a zero in the figure they offered".
