Scott Galloway

Scott Robert Galloway (born 25 April 1995) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a fullback. Galloway is currently playing for Preston Lions.

Born in Perth, Galloway played youth football for the Australian Institute of Sport before making his professional debut for Melbourne Victory in 2013. He moved to Central Coast Mariners in 2016.

Galloway has made numerous appearances for Australia's under-20 and under-23 sides. He played in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Early life Galloway's father, himself a football fan, grew up in Northern Ireland before moving to Australia, where Scott was born. His first club was Gosnells City in Perth, and he initially played in midfield before later moving into the defence. He was also a youth taekwondo champion.

Central Coast Mariners On 19 October 2016, Galloway left Melbourne Victory after failing to secure regular game time at the club and joined Central Coast Mariners. He made his first appearance for the club as a substitute in a loss to Brisbane Roar three days later.

In May 2017, the Mariners allowed Galloway to travel to the Netherlands for a trial with Willem II. Three days later, the Mariners announced that Galloway would be leaving the club, although this was said not to be directly related to his Dutch trial.

Wellington Phoenix Despite trialing in the Netherlands, on 29 June 2017, Galloway joined Wellington Phoenix on a one-year contract following Rado Vidošić and Darije Kalezić convincing him it would be the best place for him to develop his game.

Adelaide United After being on trial for the club, Galloway officially signed for A-League side Adelaide United for the 2018–19 season. He scored his first goal for Adelaide in the first game of the 2018–19 A-League, a 1–1 draw with Sydney FC.

Melbourne City Following the end of his tenure at Adelaide, Galloway signed for Melbourne City ahead of the 2019–20 A-League season. He made his league debut for the club in a 0-0 draw against his former side Melbourne Victory. Galloway would go on to make 106 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring seven goals and lifting the A-League Premiers Plate three times and the A-League Championship once in what is cited as the clubs most successful period so far. Following the end of the 2023–24 A-League season he would depart the City via mutual termination of his remaining contract.

Auckland FC Scott Galloway would sign for expansion club Auckland FC for their inaugural campaign ahead of the 2024–25 A-League season. Galloway would only go on to make four substitute appearances for Auckland as a calf injury ruled him out for a majority of the season. Galloway departed Auckland FC following the end of their Premiership winning season via mutual termination, citing a desire to return to Australia to be with his family.
