Sam Bone is an English central defender, born on 6 February 1998 (age 28), and an imposing presence at 6ft 5in (1.95m). His game is rooted in the basics of the position, which is no bad place for a centre-half to start.
His most productive league season came at Waterford in 2020, when he scored one goal in eight appearances. He has since become a regular part of Shelbourne’s first-team picture, rather than a name drifting around the edge of the squad.
In 2026, Bone has made 21 Premier Division appearances for Shelbourne, scoring once, and has also played three times in Conference League qualifiers. That leaves him on 24 appearances and one goal across all competitions for the club that year. His market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Bone’s career has moved from Waterford to a settled senior role with Shelbourne, where he remains a regular first-team presence in 2026.
