Scott James Wootton (born 12 September 1991) is an English footballer who plays for League One side Milton Keynes Dons. Although primarily a centre-back, Wootton can play anywhere across the back line or as a defensive midfielder.
Born in Birkenhead, Wirral, Wootton began his career with Tranmere Rovers before joining Liverpool at the age of 13. In 2007, he joined Manchester United, making his way through the youth system there before finally making it to the first-team in 2010; however, he was unable to get regular first-team football there and went out on loan to Tranmere, Peterborough United (twice) and Nottingham Forest before signing for Leeds in 2013. He is also a former England U17 international.
Having started his career in Tranmere Rovers Centre of Excellence, at the age of 13 he moved to Liverpool. He played for the Liverpool Under-18 side at the age of 14, but joined Manchester United at the age of 16 after refusing a youth contract at Liverpool, when Manchester United offered him a contract in 2007. After captaining the United Academy team in 2009–10, he was promoted to the reserves side for the 2010–11 season, where he became a regular player in the early part of the season.
On 30 September 2010 he joined Tranmere Rovers on a month's loan.
He made his debut on 2 October 2010, scoring a late equalising goal in the 1–1 draw with Brighton. He went on to make five appearances for the club while on his loan spell. He re-joined the club on 25 November on a second loan spell. His first confirmed league goal came on his second debut for Rovers on 11 December against Leyton Orient.
