Samuel Sáiz Alonso (born 22 January 1991), simply known as Samuel, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Atlético Madrid B as a forward.

Football career

Born in Madrid, Samuel arrived in Real Madrid's youth system at the age of eight. He made his senior debuts late into the 2008–09 season – one game – as the B-team competed in the third division; in the following campaign, spent in the same level, he contributed more solidly, but the club could only rank in eighth position, thus failing to reach the promotion playoff stage.

For 2010–11 Samuel was loaned to Sevilla FC's reserves also in division three, in a season-long move. In the following transfer window, however, he returned to Real Madrid, being assigned to its C-side in the fourth tier.

On 17 August 2011, Samuel returned to the third division and joined UD Melilla, with Real retaining a buyback option on the player.[1] Late into the following transfer window, however, he rescinded his contract and signed with Getafe CF's reserves in the same category;[2] he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 1 April 2012, coming on as a substitute for Jaime Gavilán for the last 12 minutes of a 0–3 away loss against Atlético Madrid.[3]

On 8 July 2013 Samuel signed with UD Almería B, also in level three.[4] In January of the following year he moved teams again, joining fellow league club Atlético Madrid B.[5]
