Alex Scott spoke about making his England debut in a 2-0 victory over Czechia on Tuesday evening.
From Bristol City to the Premier League
Named the Championship Player of the Year in 2023 for Bristol City aged 19, Scott was someone set to make a step to the Premier League. His time at Bournemouth has been disrupted by several injuries, but the midfielder would eventually make his mark under the guidance of Andoni Iraola.
Subsequently, Scott was called up to the team for the first time in November 2025 ahead of games against Serbia and Albania, but he earned no playing time. He was then picked in May 2026 along with Jason Steele, Ethan Nwaneri, Josh King and Rio Ngumoha to train with the World Cup squad.
·‘I really enjoyed it. It was a great game for me’
The moment finally came for the midfielder in the 70th minute at the Fortuna Arena after goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane had made the three points safe for the Three Lions in Czechia.
Croatia and Czechia up next
He now hopes that he can be part of a winning team against Croatia and Czechia in the upcoming week.
"I've learned a lot, my last camp I probably wasn't ready to play. I learned a lot in the summer and I'm definitely ready now. Thanks to all the staff, I'm really grateful. I grew up watching some of the boys play and now to be a part of the squad and the team - it's a massive honour.
"I think I did OK, I really enjoyed it. It was a great game for me.
“Big win today, I think the Spain game the lads did really well, just unfortunately didn't get the win. We've got Saturday and Tuesday to go and hopefully two wins."
