Lakyle

Samuel

Composed, adaptable defender

Having joined the Academy aged eight, Lakyle has progressed into a fine defender, comfortable both at centre-back and right-back.

Following signing his scholarship in July 2022, Samuel formed part of the Under-18s squad that retained the U18 Premier League title in 2022/23.

He contributed heavily, making 31 appearances for the Under-18s and EDS across the campaign.

For the 2023/24 season, he will look to have a similar impact as part of the EDS squad.
