Dominic James Samuel (born 1 April 1994) is an English footballer who plays for Reading as a striker.

Club career

As part of the Reading Academy, Samuel enjoyed a prolific start to the 2011–12 season, scoring 13 goals in 14 games for the under-18 side. As a result, he was rewarded with his first professional contract on 17 December 2011.[3] He made his debut for Reading coming on as a 72nd minute substitute, for Garath McCleary, in Reading's 3–0 defeat away to Sunderland on 11 December 2012.[4][5] On 3 January 2013 Samuel joined League One side Colchester United on a one-month youth loan deal.[6] After making two appearances, he returned to Reading on 31 January.[7] On 9 January 2014, Samuel joined team mate Lawson D'Ath at Dagenham & Redbridge on a one-month youth loan.[8] He made his debut three days later against Fleetwood Town though he was forced off during the first half with a knee injury.[9] Reading later confirmed that his loan had been cut short as the damage needed to be repaired surgically.[10]

International career

Samuel made his debut England under-19 against Portugal on 7 October 2011.[11] Samuel scored his first goal for the under-19s in his next match for them, against Ukraine, in a 3–1 victory on 9 October 2011.[12]
