Arfield, who now plays for Charlotte FC in the United States, has long been known for his passion for music. Before his professional football career took off, the 35-year-old was the frontman of indie band The Begbies, performing in venues across Scotland and writing his own material.
Now, Arfield has revealed that his talent for songwriting has gone even further, as he has collaborated with and written tracks for some of Scotland’s most recognisable musicians. Although he stopped short of naming the artists involved, the ex-Rangers favourite hinted that his work has already been recorded and released under well-known names.
Speaking about his creative side, Arfield said that music has always been a major part of his life and remains a big outlet alongside football. “I’ve always had that passion — writing songs, playing guitar, being in the studio. It’s something that’s never left me,” he said.
Arfield’s musical ability has been well-documented in recent years, with clips of him performing acoustic covers going viral among Rangers fans. His transition from Ibrox hero to Nashville-style songwriter underlines the versatile personality that made him one of the Scottish game’s most admired figures.
As his football career continues in Major League Soccer, it appears Scott Arfield may yet have another hit on his hands — only this time, it could be in the charts rather than on the pitch.
