Scott Steele (born 24 July 1993 in Dumfries, Scotland) is a Scottish rugby union player who currently plays for Edinburgh Rugby in the United Rugby Championship.
Steele began his rugby union career with Dumfries Saints.[1]
In 2011, Steele was playing with the Scotland Under 18s when his team-mate Corey Venus told him that Leicester Tigers needed a scrum half. Steele enquired and landed a trial, then an academy contract, and then a two-year deal with the Tigers.[1]
He was signed by London Irish in 2014.[2] On 1 March 2016 it was announced that Steele had signed a two-year contract extension which would see him remain at London Irish until the end of the 2017-18 season.[3] He was released ahead of the 2020–21 season.[4]
He joined Harlequins in July 2020.[5]
Steele has represented Scotland at under-17, under-18 and under-20 level. He was named in the senior Scotland squad for the 2020 Six Nations match against Wales.[6] He came off the bench to play on the Wing in a 14-10 win for Scotland.[7]
He has also played pro youth football for Kilmarnock.
