Scott Barrow

Date of Birth: 19th October 1988

Position: Defender

Scott began his career with Swansea City before moving to Port Talbot Town, where he made over 100 appearances and earned a place in the Welsh Premier League Team of the Year.

He then joined Tamworth, making over 100 appearances across three seasons before spells with Macclesfield Town, Newport County, Merthyr Town, Gateshead and York City. During his time at York, he helped the Minstermen secure promotion back to the National League.

Scott first joined Darlington on loan from York City in January 2024 and quickly became a key figure in the Quakers’ defence, playing a major role in the club’s remarkable National League North survival. His impressive performances earned him a permanent move to Blackwell Meadows ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

Now entering his fourth season with the club, Scott has become one of Darlington’s most dependable performers. He has made 110 appearances for the Quakers, scoring twice, and continues to be a vital part of the defensive unit. During the 2025/26 season, he featured in 45 matches and scored a memorable free-kick against Marine.

Manager’s Quote

“Scott keeps defying his years. For somebody in his late 30s, he plays so many games and is so consistent. Deceptively quick and very rarely gets done one-v-one. Someone who can play left back, left wing back, left centre half. As long as Scotty feels like he can keep playing, I am certainly wanting him in my team. Delighted to get Scotty on board.”
