Career

Scales was born in Amwell, Hertfordshire and began his career at the Norwich City academy.[3] He left for Crystal Palace in the summer of 2014 and signed a professional contract with the club in April 2015.[4] On 20 August 2015, Scales joined League Two side Crawley Town on loan.[5] He made his Football League debut on 22 August 2015 in a 3–0 win away at Cambridge United.[6]

On 6 May 2016, it was announced that Scales was being released by Crystal Palace.[7] Following a week's trial at FC Liefering who play in the First League, the second tier of Austrian football,[8] he signed for National League South side Whitehawk in February 2017.[9]

In July 2017, he signed a two-year contract with National League side Leyton Orient. He then went on a month's loan to Isthmian League Premier Division club Harlow Town, but was injured on his debut, the 2–0 win over Lowestoft Town on 26 August.[10] He subsequently returned to Orient for treatment.

In February 2018, Scales returned on loan to Harlow after the completion of his recovery.[11]

In December 2018, Scales joined Swedish Division 2 side Skellefteå on a two-year deal.[12]
