context_page_description: Scott Liam Malone is an English professional footballer who plays as a left back or left-sided midfielder for Championship club Millwall on loan from Derby County.
  Malone came through Wolverhampton Wanderers' academy to turn professional in 2009. Although he never played a first team match for the club, he had a series of loan moves while a Wolves player, culminating in a move to Bournemouth that became a permanent transfer in January 2012. Malone signed for Millwall in May 2012.
context_section_description: On 30 May 2012, Malone joined Millwall in a move that included former Cherries player Josh McQuoid returning to Bournemouth as part of a swap deal. But Malone left Bournemouth on a bad note when he made a comment that made a "section of Bournemouth supporters" upset. Upon joining the club, Malone was given a number 28 shirt ahead of the 2011–12 season.
  Malone made his Millwall debut for the club, in the first round of League Cup, against Crawley Town and played the whole 120 minutes of the match, including extra time, but Millwall were eliminated after losing 5–2 in a penalty shoot–out. Malone made his league debut, in the opening game of the season, in a 2–0 loss against Blackpool and scored in the next game, in a 2–1 win over Peterborough United three days later on 21 August 2012. Howevever, Malone struggled to establish himself in the first team, as he spent most of the season on the substitute bench, as well as, his own injury concern. Malone finished his first season at Millwall, making 16 appearance and scoring once in all competitions.
  In the 2013–14 season, Malone continued to be in the sidelined at the start of the season and made his first appearance of the season, playing as a left–back, in a 3–1 win over Blackpool on 17 September 2013. Two weeks after his making return, Malone scored his first Millwall goal, in a 2–0 win over Leeds United. During a 2–2 draw against Burnley on 2 November 2013, Malone suffered an injury that saw him substituted after just seven minutes and, after undergoing a scan, it was found that he did not have any damage to his ligament. After weeks on the sidelined, Malone made his return to the first team, in a 1–0 win over Barnsley on 23 November 2013. Malone continued to suffer from injury, as the season progressed. A week after making his return, Malone scored his third goal for the club, in a 2–1 win over Nottingham Forest on 5 April 2014. At the end of the 2013–14 Championship season Scott Malone came second in the club "Player of the Year" after a string of impressive performances, including a performance at QPR, in which he scored a 91st-minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw on 26 April 2014. This was later ranked number nine as the key moment of the 2013–14 campaign for Millwall. Despite this, Malone finished the 2013–14 season, making 33 appearance and scoring two times.
  In the 2014–15 season, Malone continued to be a first team regular and scored his first goal of the season in a 2–1 win over Blackpool on 30 August 2014. However, Malone suffered his own injury concerns, from which he managed to recover and regain his first team place. Despite Millwall's struggles, Malone's performance attracted interest from Cardiff City, who had their bid from Millwall accepted.
