Liam Scales

Liam Scales joined the Bhoys in August, 2021 from Shamrock Rovers.

The versatile  defender began his career at Arklow Town, in County Wicklow, Ireland. In 2015, then aged 17, the defender moved to the University College Dublin, where he helped the Irish outfit win the League of Ireland First Division championship three years on.

In that time, Scales would make over a century of appearances for the UCD and, at the end of the 2017/18 campaign, was named by his peers in the PFAI First Division Team of the Year.

In the summer of 2020, Scales swapped the University of Dublin for Shamrock Rovers where he went on to make over 50 appearances in the heart of the green and white Hoops of the Rovers' defence. In the summer transfer window of 2021, the 23-year-old centre-back committed himself to Paradise on a four-year deal.

After making five appearances for the first team in 2020/21 Scales went on loan to Aberdeen in 2022/23 where he made 37 appearances, playing a vital role in the final nine matches of the season where the club conceded just two goals.
