"I'm absolutely delighted to get it over the line. When I got the phone call from Stephen Robinson it was a no brainer," he told the club website.

"I feel like the gaffer got the most out of me as a player. I did really well under him at Motherwell and I feel like he can get the best out of me."

Manager Stephen Robinson added: "James is a player I worked with at Motherwell and we sold him for a substantial fee so that tells you the kind of quality he has.

"He had an injury when he first went to Hull that kind of scuppered his chances of success there. Sometimes you need picked back up and I believe I can do that with James.

"He's only 23 with loads of potential and he adds a little spark that, at times, we could be missing in that final third.

"He's very technical and can play with his left and right foot. He needs to get up to speed with his fitness but if we get a James Scott working as hard as we had him at Motherwell then we've got a very good player on our hands."
