Samson Lawal, born on 25 April 2004 (age 22), is a compact Nigerian attacking midfielder whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Livingston. At 5ft 7in (1.71m), he is not built for theatre, and his record so far has been a modest one: 19 league appearances across three seasons with Livingston, without a league goal.
His most productive league campaign in terms of involvement came in 2023-24 with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, where he made nine appearances, again without scoring. It was a useful enough stretch of senior football, but not one that shifted the outline of his career away from Livingston.
Lawal’s market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt. His career remains that of a developing professional midfielder, with Livingston still the main reference point.
