"Akeem Scott is a special player that plays with an incredible amount of passion and energy," said coach Kyle Julius.

His resume is second to none and he is excited to come and help us work through these injuries and get back on track."
Scott is the final addition to the Lightning for the 2016 season and will arrive in London early next week.
