About Sean Scannell
Sean Scannell is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Isthmian League Premier Division club Cray Valley Paper Mills. Scannell joined Palace at 14 and notched 23 goals for the academy during the 2006–07 season, graduating to the reserves before breaking into the first team in the 2007–08 season. It was reported on 22 June 2012 that newly promoted Huddersfield Town were poised to make Scannell the club's first signing of 2012 since winning promotion to the Championship via the League One play-offs. Later that day, Scannell signed a three-year contract with Huddersfield, making him Simon Grayson's first permanent signing for the club. In his home debut against Sheffield Wednesday on 15 December, he again came on as a substitute in the second half and scored a 90th-minute winner, his first senior goal in a 2–1 victory for Crystal Palace.
