Sean Scannell (born 17 September 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Championship club Huddersfield Town.
In 2012, Scannell signed for Huddersfield Town, ending the player's spell at Crystal Palace, which had lasted 9 years. Scannell has chosen to represent the Republic of Ireland and has been capped at U17, U18, U19, U21 and B level so far in his career.
Born in Croydon, London, Scannell is the brother of Tonbridge Angels player Damian Scannell and as a youngster growing up played for Addiscombe Corinthians and Afewee Academy. He attended Oasis Academy Shirley Park, Croydon, from 2002 to 2007.
He joined Palace at 14 and notched 23 goals for the academy during the 2006–07 season, graduating to the reserves before breaking into the first team in the 2007–08 season. Scannell made his debut for Crystal Palace in a 2–1 win at London rivals QPR in December 2007, coming on as a substitute for Franck Songo'o. In his home debut against Sheffield Wednesday on 15 December, he again came on to replace Songo'o in the second half and scored a 90th-minute winner, his first senior goal in a 2–1 victory for Crystal Palace. He finished that campaign having featured in 25 games, earning him a call up to the Republic of Ireland Under-17's squad, and was named Palace's Young Player of the Year in 2008.
Following this, Scannell was offered a two and a half year professional contract with Palace, and to beat off interest from, among others, Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton and Blackburn Rovers, chairman Simon Jordan placed his value at £3million. Scannell signed the contract at the beginning of the new year, and celebrated by scoring Palace's second goal in a 3–0 victory at Molineux against Wolverhampton Wanderers the following weekend.
