Sam Hart

Sam Hart of Falkirk was born in Bolton, England on 10 September 1996 (age 29).

Sam Hart, born on 10 September 1996 in England, is a sturdy defender who primarily plays as a left back for Falkirk. Standing 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall and with a fighting weight of 11st 4lb (72kg), he currently sports the number 42 jersey for his team.

A vital resource within the footballing world, Transfermarkt reports that Hart's current market value hovers around a modest £85,000. His career has seen him bouncing around teams like a determined pinball, showcasing his adaptability and resilience in the often unforgiving world of football.

In August 2016, Hart transferred from podium-dwelling Liverpool in the English Premier League to Port Vale in League One. Making his mark immediately, he netted a single goal across his 11 first team appearances in his debut season (2016-2017). The following season, Hart transferred to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship for an undisclosed fee. From there, he was loaned out to Rochdale and Southend United before eventually settling at Shrewsbury Town in January 2020.

His tenacity didn't stop there, as he moved from Blackburn Rovers to Southend United before a string of transfers carried him through Oldham Athletic, Sutton United, and eventually back to Port Vale. He made a strong showing in his debut season back at Port Vale, matching his previous season's scorecard with 11 first team appearances and a single goal.

Hart's journey northwards arrived in September 2025, as he made his way to Scottish soil with a loan move to Falkirk in the Premiership. So far in the 2025-2026 season, Hart has entered the grassy gladiatorial pit for Falkirk seven times in league matches. A fitting testament to his resilience, Hart's career speaks volumes of his footballing journey so far.
