The trip through Europe only ended in the quarter-finals, where they lost twice to the German runner-up FCR 2001 Duisburg . In the inaugural season of the FA Women's Super League , which was newly created in 2011 , Everton finished only third, so that qualification for the UEFA Women's Champions League 2012/13 was missed. This placement was repeated in 2012 , and in 2013 it was only enough for fifth place.

In 2014 she moved to the new league Manchester City WFC .

On August 31, 2006 Scott made his debut in a game against the Netherlands in the English national team. She took part in the 2007 World Cup , the 2009 European Championship and the 2011 World Cup. She scored two goals at the World Cup: the 1-1 equalizer in the group game against New Zealand and the intermittent 1-0 lead in the quarter-finals against France, which she scored after a fine individual performance. Since France still managed to equalize and hit once more on penalties, England were eliminated.

It was used in six games and only not included in the last group game against Colombia . With her team she managed to win against Germany for the first time in the game for third place and thus for the first time after the men's World Cup victory in 1966 to win a World Cup medal. With 14 World Cup games, she is now the only English World Cup record national player.

On October 27, 2015, Scott made her 100th international match for England in a 1-0 win against Australia.

On June 7, 2016 , the English women qualified as at least one of the best runners-up in the group, and on September 20 as group winners for the European Championship finals, where Scott met the Scottish women with their teammate Jane Ross , who were both in the 2016 championship season as well as the European Championship qualification was one of the best goalscorers. The English women were clearly superior to the Scottish women and won 6-0. After a 2-0 win against Spain , the English were already qualified for the quarter-finals, so that they, like some other regular players, were not used in the third group game. She then played a 90-minute mission in the 1-0 quarter-final win against the French women's national football team , but was not used in the 3-0 defeat in the semi-finals against the hosts .

In qualifying for the 2019 World Cup , she only had three appearances, including the decisive game for the group victory against Wales , which was won 3-0.

On May 8th, she was nominated for the World Cup in France and thus her fourth World Cup. She drove to this as the English World Cup record player. There, with appearances in all seven games of the English women, she expanded the record to 21 World Cup games and also overtook Peter Shilton, the men's record player, who had played 17 World Cup games for England . She was only substituted in the second round against Cameroon in the 78th minute. In the subsequent quarter-final game against Norway , she had already put her team in the lead in the 3rd minute with their fourth World Cup goal (final score 3: 0). In the end she finished fourth with her team.
