The return to the Lions
Millwall completed the double signing of two Rams, Mason Bennett and Scott Malone on the 28th August 2020. Bennett signed for an undisclosed fee, whilst Malone signed on a season long loan.
Scott Malone made his second debut for Millwall against Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup, it was a great day for Malone as he scored his sides opener as they ran out 3-1 winners and progressed to the fourth round.
Murray Wallace and Scott Malone started the season both fighting for the left spot, and Malone couldn't get a proper run of fixtures until Murray Wallace unfortunately broke his foot. Since then Malone has excelled in the 5-3-2 formation playing as left wing back.
He's not only been solid at the back when called on, but has contributed to Millwall's attacking play too, and so far this season he has scored four goals in all competitions including a stunner against Sheffield Wednesday.
The 29 year olds contract runs out at Derby County this summer, and will be hoping to impress Lions boss Gary Rowett to potentially signing at the end of the season on a longer deal.
