Scott Pittman (born 9 July 1992) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Livingston as a forward.

Background

He is a son of Steve Pittman, who played for Dundee and Partick Thistle as a full back, and also represented the United States at international level.[1]

Career

Pittman began his career at Alloa Athletic, and was first called up for a matchday squad on 26 March 2011, remaining an unused substitute for their goalless home draw with Peterhead in the Scottish Second Division.[2] Three days later, he made his only appearance for the club, as a last-minute substitute for Jim Lister in a 3–2 defeat at Brechin City.[3] On 11 August, he left the team for junior club Broxburn Athletic, signed by his father.[1]

Pittman later continued his junior career with Bo'ness United. On 3 February 2015, after three other Scottish Professional Football League teams had made offers, he joined Scottish Championship club Livingston.[4] Four days after his acquisition, he made his debut in a 2–3 home defeat to Heart of Midlothian, playing the final four minutes in place of Ibra Sekajja.[5] On 5 April, Pittman played the full 90 minutes of the 2015 Scottish Challenge Cup Final at McDiarmid Park in Perth, scoring the first goal of a 4–0 win over his former team Alloa.[6]

On 24 October 2015, he scored the first league goal of his career, equalising in a 4–1 win at Queen of the South.[7]
