David Scullion is a Northern Ireland footballer. He began his career with Portadown, before being snapped up by Aston Villa after 10 league appearances. The young midfielder featured in Villa's 2002 FA Youth Cup win, but was unable to break into the first team, returning home, first to Glenavon and then Ards before joining his current club.

Under Joe McAree, Scullion was a key member of the Dungannon Swifts team and played a huge role in guiding the Swifts to a 4th place finish in the Carnegie Premier league in the 2005/06 campaign and with that success brought Dungannon Setanta cup football and the season after the clubs first ever European outing against Icelandic Opposition.

David was also a key member of Roy Millar's Northern Ireland Under 21 squad for the 2005/06 season and retained his place for the European qualifiers at the start of the new domestic season, but he recently turned 22 and is unable to continue at the Under-21 level. Scullion is an attacking midfielder and finished the Swift's most recent season with 13 goals. He recently joined Glentoran for a fee believed to be around the £10,000 mark.
