A versatile player and mainstay on England’s backline with 43 caps (appearances) and eight goals in her international career, Scott was originally selected by the Chicago Red Stars as an international discovery player on Sept. 26. Her WPS playing rights were then traded to the Boston Breakers last month prior to the 2009 WPS Draft. In addition to Scott, the Breakers received Chicago’s sixth and 10th round draft picks, in exchange for Boston’s second and fourth round picks.

'Versatile' is about right. Generally a right-back for England, but she can basically play anywhere. Might be a bit lost at centre-back (or in goal, obviously), but apart from that, I've seen her play literally everywhere.

What's interesting is that I assumed they made that trade to help encourage their other England/Arsenal players over by putting a group of them on the same roster. But they dropped Emma Byrne the next day (Arsenal keeper) and are yet to sign Kelly Smith, as far as I know, who's still one of the best players in the World (and still England's best player). Maybe that's coming soon.
