'Raves' was the 08/09 managers player of the season. Sam epitomises a modern British Centre half, strong, quick, good in the air and most importantly understands when to play and when to clear his lines. Sam spent his first season plying his trade alongside 1st team squad member Jon Lovelock enabling him to develop from the centre midfield player he came to the club as. Sam's efforts were recognised last season when he became a regular feature with the reserve squad.
