Ex Peterborough United youngster Sam is a familiar face to Ives supporters having enjoyed a successful loan spell at Westwood Road in 2018-19 season. He developed through the Posh academy earning his first professional contract with the club in October 2017 and making two appearances for the first team in his four year spell as a pro at London Road both in the EFL Trophy against Arsenal under 21’s and Cambridge United. During that time he spent a number of months out on loan with various clubs including King’s Lynn Town, Leatherhead, Grantham Town, Woking and Oxford City in addition to the Ives. This former fans favourite is a welcome addition back at the club.
