Professional footballer Alex Scott holds on to the Guernsey Sports Commission's Outstanding Achievement Award.

The pro footballer was recognised for putting Guernsey back on the Premier League map, as he's the first islander to play at that level since 2001.

Alex Scott came up through the GFC ranks and then moved to Bristol City, which is proving to be the club of choice for emerging local talent.

It's majority owned by Guernsey-based entrepreneur Steve Lansdown who is currently redeveloping La Grande Mare golf club.

Scott moved to AFC Bournemouth in the August transfer window in a deal worth circa £25M.

He scored his first Premier League goal against Tottenham on the last day of 2023.

Scott was awarded the trophy by the Guernsey Sports Commission last year and holds on to it. Previously, he's picked up the EFL Championship Young Player of the Season award.
