Scott Burgess is no longer the forgotten man
Midfielder speaks to The Seal after finally finding his feet at Chester
Scott Burgess has been a Chester player for 16 months, yet it feels like he is a brand new signing.
Arriving at the Blues in January of 2025, the now 28-year-old central midfielder brought a wealth of experience to the middle of the park for former manager Calum McIntyre, amassing 70 games in the EFL and more than 70 games in the National League, playing an important role in Macclesfield Town’s title charge to promotion during 2017/18.
Starting his career at Bury, Burgess’ CV has also taken in stops at multiple National League North and Northern Premier League sides, while featuring in the EFL for the Shakers and Port Vale, and in the National League for Wrexham, albeit one game, as well as York City, Grimsby Town and Macc. He even spent some time in the third tier of Norwegian football with Bergsøy IL.
But for Chester, despite 16 months of being a Blue, he found himself becoming something of a forgotten man, where injury last season curtailed his ability to contribute, and being on the periphery of the squad this term saw him loaned out to Ashton United.
