Scott Pollock made his professional debut with his boyhood club on 19 January.
Scott, who once was a part of the academy in Spencer Owen‘s Hashtag United, has swapped 430,000 subscribers for a 7,798 seater stadium. He signed a two-year youth scholarship deal with the Cobblers back in September 2018.
