Sam Thomas Winnall (born 19 January 1991) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Scunthorpe United.
Career
Winnall joined the youth ranks of Wolverhampton Wanderers as a teenager, before signing professional forms in May 2009. He recovered from a cruciate knee injury[1] to make his senior debut on 24 August 2010 in a League Cup victory over Southend United,[2] which was to be his only Wolves first team appearance.
In February 2011 he moved on a month's loan to League Two side Burton Albion,[3] later extended to the end of the season after a run of four goals in six appearances.[4]
The striker went out on loan again, joining League Two side Hereford United on a month's loan from 26 August.[5] After returning to Wolves at its conclusion, he moved on loan again in January 2012, to join Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the rest of the season.[6]
During pre-season for the 2012–13 season Winnall was given permission to undergo a trial with Preston North End but was not offered a contract.[7] Instead his next move was a loan at League One club Shrewsbury Town whom he joined in a one-month deal on 28 September 2012.[8]
At the end of the 2012–13 season his contract with Wolves expired and was not renewed, meaning the striker left the club having made only one first team appearance during his time at Molineux.[9]
Following a successful trial spell during pre-season, he subsequently signed for League Two club Scunthorpe United in a one-year deal,[10] scoring on his debut on 3 August 2013 against Mansfield Town.[11]
