Samuel James Hart (born 10 September 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Liverpool. He played on loan at Port Vale during the 2016–17 season.

Playing career

Hart moved from the Manchester United Academy to the Liverpool Academy whilst an under-16 level player.[1] He made his first appearance for Liverpool on 7 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–0 friendly defeat to Mainz 05 at the Opel Arena.[2] Just over two weeks later he joined League One side Port Vale on loan for the 2016–17 season, as manager Bruno Ribeiro needed cover for injured duo Kiko and Adam Yates.[3] He made his debut in professional football on 27 August, coming on as a 83rd-minute substitute for Jerome Thomas in a 3–1 win over Scunthorpe United at Vale Park.[4] With Thomas injured, Hart made his first league start on 27 September, playing at left-wing in a 3–1 home win over Millwall.[5] His performance impressed Ribeiro, who stated that Hart played well enough to guarantee himself either the left-back or left-wing spot in the next game.[6] He scored his first goal in senior football on 29 October, in a 3–1 defeat to hometown club Bolton Wanderers at the Macron Stadium.[7] Hart's loan deal was cut short after Michael Brown succeeded Ribeiro as manager in January 2017; he had made 12 starts and four substitute appearances for the "Valiants", often out of position on the left and right-wing.[8]

Style of play

Hart was described by the Liverpool website as "a left-back, who relishes going forward and poses a real threat when pushing on down the flank", and someone who "can carry the attack with his fine athletic profile - but he's also very strong in the tackle".[9]
