Imari Samuels, born 5 February 2003 in England, is a 22-year-old football defender who prefers to take up the left back role. He currently plies his trade with Dundee, sporting the number 12 jersey. Standing tall at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and tipping the scales at 11st 6lb (73kg), Samuels presents an imposing figure at the back.
At present, Samuels has an estimated market value of around £85k according to well-respected football database Transfermarkt. He remains under contract with Dundee for a further 2 years and 5 months, with the deal expected to wind up on 30 June 2027.
Samuels' career has seen him span English leagues, beginning his professional journey with Reading in England's League One in July 2019. Come August 2022, he made a significant jump, moving from Reading to Brighton & Hove Albion of the famed Premier League. A brief detour in his career path occurred in January 2024, when Samuels was loaned out to Fleetwood Town in the English League Two. However, by June 2024, he was recalled back to Brighton following the completion of his loan spell.
The next chapter of Samuels' career brought him up north when he was transferred from Brighton to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership in January 2025. The transfer fee that changed hands remains undisclosed. Since his move, he has made a couple appearances as a substitute in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Dundee. As his career unfolds, one hopes that Samuels' contributions will continue to be instrumental for his club, Dundee.
