28-year-old English-born Scott, who has Dublin and Donegal roots and qualifies for Ireland through her grandparents, has been central for the club through the years “showcasing exceptional versatility both on and off the pitch,” as a statement detailed.
A physiotherapist by trade, Scott has worked on the NHS frontline through the Covid-19 pandemic to support her studies at Keele University.
“I have been at Blues for three seasons, so Birmingham is my home,” she told BCFC.com.
“I’m really excited to have extended my stay for a few seasons. I couldn’t be happier right now.
"Birmingham is my home." 🙌

“When you like the people, when you like the environment and it is a great stadium to call home. I’m fortunate enough that Blues have looked after me all the way through my education as well.
“It has been really difficult the past two years, but I hope we can see fans back in the stadium. It will be amazing to see and get as many bums on seats in the ground.”
It’s being reported across the water that Louise Quinn, who recently departed Italian side Fiorentina, is a target of Birmgham’s this transfer window.
Ruesha Littlejohn is also on the books at St Andrew’s.
Few transfer rumours: Louise Quinn a target for Birmingham City I'm told. West Ham also in the mix for Kyah Simon.
