Career

Scales began his career playing for the Bradford City youth team,[2] joining at the age of 12 or 13.[3] In March 2020 he moved on loan to Bradford (Park Avenue).[4][5] He turned professional in July 2020, signing a one-year contract.[6]

He made his senior debut for Bradford City on 8 September 2020, in the EFL Trophy.[7][8] In early December 2020 he spoke about his recent run of first-team action, and the trust placed in City's young players by manager Stuart McCall.[9]

After impressing new managers Mark Trueman and Connor Sellars, on 23 March 2021 Scales made his second league start for the club.[10] He scored his first senior goal on 27 March 2021.[11] The goal was later voted as the club's Goal of the Month for March 2021 by fans.[12]

In April 2021 Sellars said he was happy for young players like Ccales and Finn Cousin-Dawson to be playing regular first team football.[13]

On 12 May 2021 he was one of four players offered a new contract by Bradford City.[14][15] On 16 June 2021 he signed a new two-year contract with the club.[3][16] In July 2021 he spoke about learning from teammates ahead of the new season.[17]

He was made available for loan to National League clubs in September 2021.[18] He moved on loan to Farsley Celtic in November 2021.[19] After returning from his loan in January 2022, he was made available for loan again.[20]

Ahead of the 2022–23 season he said he was looking forward to more game time, whether with Bradford City or out on loan.[21] He re-joined Farsley Celtic on loan in August 2022.[22]
