In addition to the domestic silverware Scott won during her maiden stint at Everton, she has lifted one Women’s Super League title, three FA Women’s Cups and three WSL Continental Cups with Manchester City.
“She was a pivotal figure at Everton when the Women’s Super League was first formed and went on to become a significant part of Manchester City establishing themselves as one of the top clubs in this country,” Everton boss WIllie Kirk said.
