“Sam was only at our club for one season and was a huge factor in our improved form since his arrival,” he said.
“He was a quiet, well-mannered young man and will be sorely missed by everyone.”

His former club FC United of Manchester also paid tribute to him.

Academy manager Tom Conroy said he had been “one of the best academy players we have ever had and that was proven when he was successful in England schoolboy trials, earning caps for his country”.
