He brought his three-year stay with the Exiles to a close this summer though, opting to swap England for Wales to join the Dragons.
Scott is one of a number of new recruits at Rodney Parade alongside the likes of Ed Jackson, Charlie Davies, Shaun Knight, Adam Warren and Sarel Pretorius.
And while the prospect of a return to winning ways is an attractive one to Scott - the Dragons won eight GUINNESS PRO12 league games last season alone - he admits the chance to work under former London Welsh coach Lyn Jones once again was one he couldn't turn down.
"I was attracted to the Dragons because of the opportunity to play under Lyn again. I really enjoyed our time in the Championship and Premiership and I felt like I was always learning and became a better player under him," Scott told the South Wales Argus.
"Lyn is constantly looking for players to improve. He has been there and done it, so that's a tick in the box and you know there is merit behind what he is saying.
"He is always looking for individual players to improve and sees things that we wouldn't look at. He always picks up on the finer details. He is also great to be around and there's a good environment.
"I will almost appreciate everything more because of last year. It wasn't a gradual decline, it was bad from the off and unfortunately we didn't get much better.
"Now I will appreciate being in games where you have put the hard work in and get the rewards. I will enjoy the little things that you might take for granted."
