Sam Hart

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

Sam Hart, born on 10 September 1996 (age 29), is an English left-back with Port Vale. A steady, specialist full-back rather than a headline act, his career has been built around practical league football.

His most productive league season came with Port Vale in 2016-17, when he scored once in 11 appearances. That is not a vast attacking return, but it gives a fair sense of the role: a defender first, with the occasional contribution further up the pitch.

Hart is currently valued at around £85,000 by Transfermarkt. His profile is that of an established professional full-back whose career has remained grounded in the English game.
