Imari Samuels, born on 5th February 2003, harbours his footballing talents in the heart of Scotland, despite his English beginnings. An imposing figure in defence, he stands at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighs a sturdy 11st 6lb (73kg) - a commanding presence for the Dundee back line when he pulls on the number 12 jersey. Primarily playing as a left-back, he's become an important asset to the side.
Samuels currently holds a market value of around £85k, a figure sourced from Transfermarkt as of recent evaluations.
Samuels' football journey set sail in July 2019, when he was signed by Reading in England's League One. The opportunity to mature his talents was met with another pivotal move in August 2022, with a transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion in the esteemed English Premier League.
January 2024 saw Samuels take up temporary lodgings at Fleetwood Town in League Two, a loan spell that saw him return to Brighton & Hove Albion after its conclusion in June 2024. Yet, the grass appeared greener in the Scottish Premiership, and so, in January 2025, Samuels made the move to Dundee for an undisclosed fee.
The tall defender made his mark in his debut season at Dundee, with three first team appearances in the 2024 - 2025 league campaign. Stamping his presence further in the current 2025 - 2026 season, he's managed eight first team appearances thus far. Furthermore, he's been seen participating in the League Cup competition, with two starts and two substitute appearances, while the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 saw him feature twice as a substitute.
