English-born footballer Sam Hart, recognised as a skilled defender, was born on 10 September 1996. He is best known for his position as a left-back. Currently playing for Falkirk, Hart stands at 5ft 10in (1.8m) and weighs 11st 4lb (72kg). Fans would know him in the number 42 jersey. According to Transfermarkt, his contemporary market value hovers around £85k.
In August 2016, Hart got his first significant break when he transferred from Liverpool to Port Vale on loan. During his debut season in 2016-2017, he performed commendably, registering 11 first team appearances and scoring one goal in league matches.
Blackburn Rovers signed Hart for an undisclosed fee in August 2017. However, his stint was marked by scanty playtime as he made just three first team appearances in the 2017-2018 season.
In January 2018, Hart was loaned out to Rochdale only to be recalled by Blackburn in June that year. His career with Blackburn remained somewhat static during this period, with only three league appearances. Hart was once again loaned out to Rochdale in August 2018, returning to Blackburn Rovers after the short tenure.
The following year, in January 2019, Hart moved to Southend United on loan before returning to Blackburn Rovers. His involvement in the Blackburn squad stayed constant, with only three league appearances in the 2017-2018 season.
January 2020 saw Hart loaned out to Shrewsbury Town for a brief period before returning to Blackburn. After a final season with Blackburn, Hart transferred to Southend United permanently in December 2020.
Over the subsequent years, Hart made moves from Southend United to Oldham Athletic in July 2021, then to Sutton United in June 2022. While at Sutton United, he made a noteworthy contribution with 14 first team appearances in 2022-2023.
In July 2024, a full circle moment occurred when Hart returned to Port Vale, where he once again made an impressive debut season. His performance echoed his initial stint with the team, landing 11 first team appearances and scoring one goal in league matches.
His most recent move in September 2025 took him from Port Vale to Falkirk on loan. Thus far, in the 2025-2026 season, Hart has made seven first team appearances.
