Ufuk Talay is poised to make former Perth Glory defender Walter Scott one of his first signings as Wellington Phoenix coach.
The Covert Agent can reveal the 19-year-old left-back is set for a move to Wellington after being released by Glory, who he represented twice in the A-League.
Though not a high-profile signing, Scott's arrival is set to lay the pattern for Talay's approach to recruitment with the former Sydney FC assistant eager to give young players a chance rather than turning to recycled A-League names.
