Born on 26th March 2006 in Scotland, Samuel Harding is celebrated for his skills as a central defender. Currently, he plays in this role for Dundee United, donning the number 37 jersey. Standing tall at 6 feet 2 inches (or 1.88 meters), and weighing 11 stone 9 pounds (or 74 kilograms), he is quite an imposing figure on the pitch.
Harding started his professional journey with Dundee United; he signed with the club as a trainee in July 2021. His debut season (2024-2025) saw him make four first team appearances, during which he scored a solitary goal. The current season (2025-2026) has followed, so far, a similar pattern, with Harding having made four first team appearances.
In a twist of his career path, Harding was loaned out to Kelty Hearts, a club playing in Scotland's League One, in September 2024. This was a short stint, though, as he was transferred back to Dundee United by January 2025, where he continued to impress with his performances. Once again, during his debut season (back at Dundee United), he made four first team appearances and managed to find the back of the net once. Just as before, in the current season (2025-2026), he has made four first team appearances.
Added to his league commitments, Harding also participated in the Scottish Cup 2025-2026 for Dundee United. In this tournament, he made one start and one appearance as a substitute, further demonstrating his value to the team and his potential for continued growth within Scottish football.
