Imari Samuels, a sturdy English defender, was born on the 5th of February 2003, now aged 22. He currently brings his talents to Dundee where he plays primarily as a left back and adorns the number 12 jersey. Standing tall at 6ft 1in (1.87m), and tipping the scales at 11st 6lb (73kg), he cuts an imposing figure on the football field.
According to Transfermarkt, Samuels' market value is estimated to be in the vicinity of £120,000. A not insubstantial sum, by any measure.
Samuels journey across footballing terrains had him kick-starting his journey with Reading in England's League One in July 2019. A jaunt that offered both experience and exposure.
By August 2022, Samuels was inbound to Brighton & Hove Albion, making his mark in the esteemed Premier League. A sterling step-up in quality and expectations for him.
The journey took an unexpected turn in January 2024, as Samuels was loaned out to Fleetwood Town, engaged in the hard-fought battles of England's League Two. This, we can speculate, was a move aimed at gaining valuable game-time and hardening Samuels' resolve.
Having completed his loan, he was back at Brighton once again in June 2024.
In a somewhat surprising turn of events, January 2025 saw Samuels heading north to ply his trade at Dundee in the Premiership of Scotland, with the fee to secure his services remaining undisclosed.
In his debut season (2024-2025) with Dundee, the Englishman slotted into the first team for a sum total of three league matches, an indication of his intent to make his presence felt. Rolling into the current season (2025-2026), Samuels is proving to be a stalwart in the Dundee defensive line, having made no less than fifteen first-team appearances in league matches. The story, as they say, continues.
