Samuel "Sam" Hird (born September 7, 1987 in Doncaster, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Doncaster Rovers.
Hird was signed by Doncaster Rovers on a three-month loan from Leeds United in February 2007.[1] He was released by Leeds at the end of the 2006-07 season and was signed by Doncaster Rovers on 2 July 2007.[2][3] He joined Grimsby Town on a month's loan in November 2007.[4] This was extended for a second month in December.[5]
Hird broke into the Doncaster side late in the 2007/8 season after an injury crisis hit Rovers in defence. Sam put in several impressive performances and was part of the side that beat Leeds United (his former club) 1-0 at Wembley Stadium in the League One Play-Off Final to win promotion to the Championship.
